intended to help researchers leverage vast and growing collections of research literature.
Several systems to extract such relations have been developed but little work has focused on
how those relations can be usefully organized (aggregated) to support visualization systems or
analysis algorithms. Ontological resources that enumerate name strings for different types of
biomedical objects should play a key role in the organization process. In this paper we
delineate five potentially useful levels of relational granularity and propose the use of
aggregatable substance identifiers to help reduce lexical ambiguity. An aggregatable
substance identifier applies to a gene and its products. We merged 4 extensive lexicons and
compared the extracted strings to the text of five million MEDLINE abstracts. We report on
the ambiguity within and between name strings and common English words. Our results show
an 89% reduction in ambiguity for the extracted human substance name strings when using an
aggregatable substance approach.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aSu, Hua1 aMcDonald, Dan1 aChen, Hsinchun uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/marshall_PSB2005.pdf02392nas a2200193 4500008004100000245007400041210006900115260000900184300001200193490000700205520180700212653001502019653000802034100002002042700001802062700001902080700001902099856008002118 2004 eng d00aEBizPort: Collecting and Analyzing Business Intelligence Information0 aEBizPort Collecting and Analyzing Business Intelligence Informat c2004 a873-8910 v553 aIn this article, Marshall, McDonald, Chen, and Chung take a different approach to supporting search services to large and heterogeneous document collections. They propose development of a domain-specific collection by crawling the content of a small set of highly reputable sites, maintaining a local index of the content, and providing browsing and searching services on the specialized content. This resource, known as a vertical portal, has the potential of overcoming several problems associated with bias, update delay, reputation, and integration of scattered information. The article discusses the design of a vertical portal system's architecture called EbizPort, rationale behind its major components, and algorithms and techniques for building collections and search functions. Collection (or more broadly content) has an obvious relationship to the nature of the search interface, as it can impact the type of search functions that can be offered. Powerful search interface functions were built for EbizPort by exploiting the underlying content representation and a relatively narrow and well-defined domain focus. Particularly noteworthy are the innovative browsing functions, which include a summarizer, a categorizer, a visualizer, and a navigation side-bar. The article ends with a discussion of an evaluation study, which compared the EbizPort system with a baseline system called Brint. Results are presented on effectiveness and efficiency, usability and information quality, and quality of local collection and content retrieved from other sources (an extended search operation called meta-search service was also provided in the system). Overall, the authors find that EbizPort outperforms the baseline system, and it provides a viable way to support access to business information.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aMcDonald, Dan1 aChen, Hsinchun1 aChung, Wingyan uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/Marshall_JASIST_EBizPort.pdf01663nas a2200193 4500008004100000245009100041210006900132260000900201300001100210490000700221520107000228653001501298653000801313100001801321700001901339700001201358700002001370856007901390 2004 eng d00aExtracting Gene Pathway Relations Using a Hybrid Grammar: The Arizona Relation Parser0 aExtracting Gene Pathway Relations Using a Hybrid Grammar The Ari c2004 a3370-80 v203 aMotivation: Text-mining research in the biomedical domain has been motivated by the rapid growth of new research findings. Improving the accessibility of findings has potential to speed hypothesis generation.Results: We present the Arizona Relation Parser that differs from other parsers in its use of a broad coverage syntax-semantic hybrid grammar. While syntax grammars have generally been tested over more documents, semantic grammars have outperformed them in precision and recall. We combined access to syntax and semantic information from a single grammar. The parser was trained using 40 PubMed abstracts and then tested using 100 unseen abstracts, half for precision and half for recall. Expert evaluation showed that the parser extracted biologically relevant relations with 89% precision. Recall of expert identified relations with semantic filtering was 35 and 61% before semantic filtering. Such results approach the higher-performing semantic parsers. However, the AZ parser was tested over a greater variety of writing styles and semantic content. 10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMcDonald, Dan1 aChen, Hsinchun1 aSu, Hua1 aMarshall, Byron uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/MCDONALD_BIOINFORMATICS.pdf
