SUMMARY:Semantics\, Text\, and Biomedical Knowledge Discovery: Challenges 
 and Opportunities - Karin Verspoor - University of Colorado Denver
DTSTART:20100906T110000Z

UID:TALK26127@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Laura Rimell
DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, I will introduce the work we are doing at the\n
 University of Colorado Denver on information extraction of biological\neve
 nts from the biomedical literature. I will discuss the challenges\nof work
 ing on text in this domain\, as well as the opportunities and\nadvantages 
 -- in the form of community-generated ontologies and other\nknowledge reso
 urces -- that we have available to us. I will introduce\nthe notion of "3R
 " -- "Reading\, Reasoning\, and Reporting" --\ncomputational tools support
 ing biomedical discovery\, and discuss the\nrole that text mining plays. O
 ur current manifestation of this concept\nis the Hanalyzer\, an open-sourc
 e data integration system designed to\nhelp biologists explain results obs
 erved in genome-scale experiments\nand to generate new hypotheses. Hanalyz
 er combines information\nextraction techniques\, semantic data integration
 \, and reasoning and\nfacilitates network visualization.\n
