The document describes Lars Juhl Jensen's dictionary-based approach to named entity recognition. It involves compiling a comprehensive dictionary of biological and biomedical terms from various sources, including genes, proteins, species, diseases, pathways and more. The dictionary is expanded to include synonyms, abbreviations, prefixes/suffixes and plural forms. Ambiguity is handled by either allowing, disallowing or disambiguating terms. The named entity recognition is performed in two rounds to identify species/organisms and genes/proteins with flexible matching. The approach achieves around 85% precision and 75% recall.
