摘要：A rich source of chemical-protein interactions (CPIs) is locked in the exponentially growing biomedical literature. Automatic extraction of CPIs is a crucial task in biomedical natural language processing (NLP), which has great benefits for pharmacological and clinical research. Deep context representation and multihead attention are recent developments in deep learning and have shown their potential in some NLP tasks. Unlike traditional word embedding, deep context representation has the ability to generate comprehensive sentence representation based on the sentence context. The multihead attention mechanism can effectively learn the important features from different heads and emphasize the relatively important features. Integrating deep context representation and multihead attention with a neural network-based modelmay improve CPI extraction. We present a deep neural model for CPI extraction based on deep context representation and multihead attention. Our model mainly consists of the following three parts: a deep context representation layer, a bidirectional long short-term memory networks (Bi-LSTMs) layer and a multihead attention layer. The deep context representation is employed to provide more comprehensive feature input for Bi-LSTMs. The multihead attention can effectively emphasize the important part of the Bi-LSTMs output. We evaluated our method on the public ChemProt corpus. These experimental results show that both deep context representation and multihead attention are helpful in CPI extraction. Our method can compete with other state-of-the-art methods on ChemProt corpus.
