We developed an

• 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

• on these results, we discuss future research plans for improving the performance of the system. Keywords: annotated corpus; automatic information extraction; nanocrystal device development; nanoinformatics; text mining; Introduction Nanoscale research is a rapidly progressing domain and many
