| Abstract: |
Biomedical text mining consists of identifying entities of biomedical
interest in text on the one hand and relations among such entities on the
other. Traditionally, lexicons support named entity recognition, while
ontologies support relation extraction. This talk will present some of
the lexical and ontological resources used for text mining in biology and
biomedicine. The use of biomedical terminologies in text mining applications
will be discussed as well. The central role played by the Unified Medical
Language System (UMLS) will be illustrated. |
