Text mining technologies have received much attention in biomedicine, as a way of dealing with the vast amount of textual information in the literature. As we begin to understand what we may or may not expect from such technologies, however, the attention is gradually turning to utilizing the results of such technologies, in addition to making refined results available in a structured form. In this presentation, I will outline the general research directions and results of our research group, along with the uses of text mining in two areas, first for knowledge discovery and then for ontology extension.
