Expertise Profiling in Evolving Knowledgecuration Platforms
Expertise modeling has been the subject of extensiveresearch in two main disciplines: Information Retrieval (IR) andSocial Network Analysis (SNA). Both IR and SNA approachesbuild the expertise model through a document-centric approachproviding a macro-perspective on the knowledge emerging fromlarge corpus of static documents. With the emergence of the Webof Data there has been a significant shift from static to evolvingdocuments, through micro-contributions. Thus, the existingmacro-perspective is no longer sufficient to track the evolution ofboth knowledge and expertise. In this paper we present acomprehensive, domain-agnostic model for expertise profiling inthe context of dynamic, living documents and evolving knowledgebases. We showcase its application in the biomedical domain andanalyze its performance using two manually created datasets
Literature Based Discovery (LBD): Towards Hypothesis Generation and Knowledge Discovery in Biomedical Text Mining
Biomedical knowledge is growing in an astounding pace with a majority of this
knowledge is represented as scientific publications. Text mining tools and
methods represents automatic approaches for extracting hidden patterns and
trends from this semi structured and unstructured data. In Biomedical Text
mining, Literature Based Discovery (LBD) is the process of automatically
discovering novel associations between medical terms otherwise mentioned in
disjoint literature sets. LBD approaches proven to be successfully reducing the
discovery time of potential associations that are hidden in the vast amount of
scientific literature. The process focuses on creating concept profiles for
medical terms such as a disease or symptom and connecting it with a drug and
treatment based on the statistical significance of the shared profiles. This
knowledge discovery approach introduced in 1989 still remains as a core task in
text mining. Currently the ABC principle based two approaches namely open
discovery and closed discovery are mostly explored in LBD process. This review
starts with general introduction about text mining followed by biomedical text
mining and introduces various literature resources such as MEDLINE, UMLS, MESH,
and SemMedDB. This is followed by brief introduction of the core ABC principle
and its associated two approaches open discovery and closed discovery in LBD
process. This review also discusses the deep learning applications in LBD by
reviewing the role of transformer models and neural networks based LBD models
and its future aspects. Finally, reviews the key biomedical discoveries
generated through LBD approaches in biomedicine and conclude with the current
limitations and future directions of LBD.Comment: 43 Pages, 5 Figures, 4 Table
Developing an innovative entity extraction method for unstructured data
The main goal of this study is to build high-precision extractors for entities such as Person and Organization as a good initial seed that can be used for training and learning in machine-learning systems, for the same categories, other categories, and across domains, languages, and applications. The improvement of entities extraction precision also increases the relationships extraction precision, which is particularly important in certain domains (such as intelligence systems, social networking, genetic studies, healthcare, etc.). These increases in precision improve the end users’ experience quality in using the extraction system because it lowers the time that users spend for training the system and correcting outputs, focusing more on analyzing the information extracted to make better data-driven decisions
