How TDM can unlock a goldmine of information - OpenMinTeD

Summary:

"The first showcase focused on text mining related to cancer biology. Sophia Ananiadou of NaCTeM, University of Manchester, showed how you can mine large volumes of scientific papers, in order to find information about cancer related processes inside the body. One of the aspects they focused on is detecting uncertainty. For example: if one protein might interact with another protein and it is written in a text like that, you can detect it. By combining ‘machine learning’ and ‘automatic rule induction’ they were able to find these kinds of relations better. Her research group also worked on an interactive visual analytics tool, LitPathExolorer, that allows them to visualize corroborating and new discoveries linked with pathways by including the user in the loop.  These tools can contribute to a better understanding of cancer mechanisms and hence support experiments and drug discovery.
