They reduce the complexity of cancer into 10 principles (e.g. resisting cell death and sustaining proliferative signaling) that explain the biological capabilities acquired during the development of human tumors. Since new research depends crucially on existing knowledge, technology for semantic classification of scientific literature according to the hallmarks of cancer could greatly support literature review, knowledge discovery and applications in cancer research.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: We present the first step toward the development of such technology. We introduce a corpus of 1499 PubMed abstracts annotated according to the scientific evidence they provide for the 10 currently known hallmarks of cancer. We use this corpus to train a system that classifies PubMed literature according to the hallmarks. The system uses supervised machine learning and rich features largely based on biomedical text mining. We report good performance in both intrinsic and extrinsic evaluations, demonstrating both the accuracy of the methodology and its potential in supporting practical cancer research. We discuss how this approach could be developed and applied further in the future.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Availability and implementation: The corpus of hallmark-annotated PubMed abstracts and the software for classification are available at: http:\/\/www.cl.cam.ac.uk\/\u223csb895\/HoC.html .<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Contact: \u00a0simon.baker@cl.cam.ac.uk<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/bioinformatics\/btv585","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,11]],"date-time":"2015-10-11T01:19:15Z","timestamp":1444526355000},"page":"432-440","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":79,"title":["Automatic semantic classification of scientific literature according to the hallmarks of cancer"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"32","author":[{"given":"Simon","family":"Baker","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1 Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ilona","family":"Silins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yufan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imran","family":"Ali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Johan","family":"H\u00f6gberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ulla","family":"Stenius","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2 Institute of Environmental Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Korhonen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3 Department of Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023020110312663500_btv585-B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"193","DOI":"10.2174\/1568009033481967","article-title":"Taxanes: microtubule and centrosome targets, and cell cycle dependent mechanisms of action","volume":"3","author":"Abal","year":"2003","journal-title":"Curr.
