[Outline of current research] 

My current research is to employ semantic relationships represented in the predicate-argument strutures for enhancing molecular named entity recognition (NER) systems.
The predicate-argument structure,a deeper knowledge level than sentence's surface level and syntactic relation level, should be helpful to enhance traditional NER which is based mainly on lexical and syntactic information.
