"Biomedical Text Mining: Introduction and Examples”

Text mining involves information extraction, defined as the discovery by computer of new and previously unfound information by automatically extracting information from different written resources. Information extraction primarily constitutes concept extraction (also known as named entity recognition) and relation extraction (also known as association extraction). Natural Language Processing (NLP) is the art of text mining. NLP when dealing with written text operates at level of words, grammar, meaning, context, and document. In this presentation, we will discuss some of the basics of text mining and also go through few examples in biomedical domain.
