Thalia

Thalia (Text mining for Highlighting, Aggregating and Linking Information in Articles) is a semantic search engine that can recognise concepts occurring in biomedical abstracts indexed on Pubmed. It currently recognises eight types of concepts, namely: chemicals, diseases, drugs, genes, metabolites, proteins, species and anatomical entities.

User interface

Thalia is available through a web-based user interface at the following address: http://www.nactem.ac.uk/Thalia_BI/. More information on the system can be obtained by reading the manual or watching a short demonstration video:

API

Thalia can also be queried through a RESTful API. For more information, read the API manual. The queries should be sent to the following address: www.nactem.ac.uk/thalia-wsgi/api
