• annotated corpus called “ NaDev” (Nanocrystal Device Development) for this purpose. We also proposed an automatic information extraction system called “NaDevEx” (Nanocrystal Device Automatic Information Extraction Framework). NaDevEx aims at extracting information from research papers on nanocrystal devices

• . Nanocrystal device development [21][22][23][24][25][26] is an important area of nanoscale research. To support analysis of experimental results in this domain, extracting experimental information from related publications is desirable. We previously constructed an annotated corpus called “NaDev” (Nanocrystal
