"Extracting biological data from the Science Literature"

Abstract:

The scientific literature constitutes a rich and diverse source of information essential for any research line in life sciences. The volume of scientific publications is growing year by year generating a large accumulation of literature, due to the constant developments and advances in the biomedical domain. Text Mining (TM) emerges to address the need generated by the continuous growth of scientific literature in the biomedical domain. In this talk I will give an overview of TM and how it can help us to find relevant information from a large set of documents. I will present the BeFree System, a text mining tool developed as part of my PhD thesis and its application to different projects related to investigating the genetic basis of diseases, the therapeutic and undesired effects of drugs, and the effect of drugs in the environment.
