The challenge of Drug discovery is double: it requires us to understand the biological rationale for the disease as well as finding novel biological associations which can lead to the development of a new drug. In this context, extracting biomedical interactions from the literature is key and I will give an overview of how at BenevolentAI we approach this problem. I will present "interpret", a method we recently published at ACL'19, a major NLP conference. It allows drug scientists to find literature evidence for specific types of biomedical interactions in the absence of curated datasets.
