Publication: A Knowledge-Driven Approach to Extract Disease-Related Biomarkers from the Literature

On April 16, 2014, Posted by , In Publications, By ,,,,, , With Comments Off on Publication: A Knowledge-Driven Approach to Extract Disease-Related Biomarkers from the Literature

The biomedical literature represents a rich source of biomarker information. However, both the size of literature databases and their lack of standardization hamper the automatic exploitation of the information contained in these resources. Text mining approaches have proven to be useful for the exploitation of information contained in the scientific…
