BioCreAtIvE (A critical assessment of text mining methods in molecular biology ) consists in a community-wide effort for evaluating information extraction and text mining developments in the biological domain.
42-892: It was preceded by the Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) Challenge Cup for detection of gene mentions. Three main tasks were posed at the first BioCreAtIvE challenge: the entity extraction task, the gene name normalization task, and the functional annotation of gene products task. The data sets produced by this contest serve as a Gold Standard training and test set to evaluate and train Bio-NER tools and annotation extraction tools. The second BioCreAtIvE challenge (2006-2007) had also 3 tasks: detection of gene mentions, extraction of unique idenfiers for genes and extraction information related to physical protein-protein interactions. It counted with participation of 44 teams from 13 countries. The third edition of BioCreative included for
84-404: A book or a newspaper article , or unstructured like a handwritten note. Documents are sometimes classified as secret , private , or public. They may also be described as drafts or proofs . When a document is copied , the source is denominated the " original ". Documents are used in numerous fields, e.g.: Such standard documents can be drafted based on a template . The page layout of
126-430: A semantic web , text mining can find content based on meaning and context (rather than just by a specific word). Additionally, text mining software can be used to build large dossiers of information about specific people and events. For example, large datasets based on data extracted from news reports can be built to facilitate social networks analysis or counter-intelligence . In effect, the text mining software may act in
168-407: A capacity similar to an intelligence analyst or research librarian, albeit with a more limited scope of analysis. Text mining is also used in some email spam filters as a way of determining the characteristics of messages that are likely to be advertisements or other unwanted material. Text mining plays an important role in determining financial market sentiment . Document A document
210-623: A document is how information is graphically arranged in the space of the document, e.g., on a page. If the appearance of the document is of concern, the page layout is generally the responsibility of a graphic designer . Typography concerns the design of letter and symbol forms and their physical arrangement in the document (see typesetting ). Information design concerns the effective communication of information , especially in industrial documents and public signs . Simple textual documents may not require visual design and may be drafted only by an author , clerk , or transcriber . Forms may require
252-412: A document. It has become physical evidence being used by those who study it. Indeed, scholarly articles written about the antelope are secondary documents, since the antelope itself is the primary document." This opinion has been interpreted as an early expression of actor–network theory . A document can be structured, like tabular documents, lists , forms , or scientific charts, semi-structured like
294-460: A phenomenon, whether physical or mental." An often-cited article concludes that "the evolving notion of document " among Jonathan Priest, Paul Otlet , Briet, Walter Schürmeyer , and the other documentalists increasingly emphasized whatever functioned as a document rather than traditional physical forms of documents. The shift to digital technology would seem to make this distinction even more important. David M. Levy has said that an emphasis on
336-485: A review is for the product. Such an analysis may need a labeled data set or labeling of the affectivity of words. Resources for affectivity of words and concepts have been made for WordNet and ConceptNet , respectively. Text has been used to detect emotions in the related area of affective computing. Text based approaches to affective computing have been used on multiple corpora such as students evaluations, children stories and news stories. The issue of text mining
378-593: A sharp tool, e.g., the Tablets of Stone described in the Bible ; stamped or incised in clay and then baked to make clay tablets , e.g., in the Sumerian and other Mesopotamian civilizations. The papyrus or parchment was often rolled into a scroll or cut into sheets and bound into a codex (book). Contemporary electronic means of memorializing and displaying documents include: Digital documents usually require
420-414: A specific file format to be presentable in a specific medium. Documents in all forms frequently serve as material evidence in criminal and civil proceedings. The forensic analysis of such a document is within the scope of questioned document examination . To catalog and manage the large number of documents that may be produced during litigation , Bates numbering is often applied to all documents in
462-483: A traditional part of social sciences and media studies for a long time. The automation of content analysis has allowed a " big data " revolution to take place in that field, with studies in social media and newspaper content that include millions of news items. Gender bias , readability , content similarity, reader preferences, and even mood have been analyzed based on text mining methods over millions of documents. The analysis of readability, gender bias and topic bias
SECTION 10
#1732802075172504-534: A visual design for their initial fields, but not to complete the forms. Traditionally, the medium of a document was paper and the information was applied to it in ink , either by handwriting (to make a manuscript ) or by a mechanical process (e.g., a printing press or laser printer ). Today, some short documents also may consist of sheets of paper stapled together. Historically, documents were inscribed with ink on papyrus (starting in ancient Egypt ) or parchment ; scratched as runes or carved on stone using
546-450: A way to improve their results. Within the public sector, much effort has been concentrated on creating software for tracking and monitoring terrorist activities . For study purposes, Weka software is one of the most popular options in the scientific world, acting as an excellent entry point for beginners. For Python programmers, there is an excellent toolkit called NLTK for more general purposes. For more advanced programmers, there's also
588-475: A wide variety of government, research, and business needs. All these groups may use text mining for records management and searching documents relevant to their daily activities. Legal professionals may use text mining for e-discovery , for example. Governments and military groups use text mining for national security and intelligence purposes. Scientific researchers incorporate text mining approaches into efforts to organize large sets of text data (i.e., addressing
630-466: Is a written , drawn , presented, or memorialized representation of thought, often the manifestation of non-fictional , as well as fictional , content. The word originates from the Latin Documentum , which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach". In the past, the word was usually used to denote written proof useful as evidence of a truth or fact. In
672-481: Is a knowledge-based search engine for biomedical texts. Text mining techniques also enable us to extract unknown knowledge from unstructured documents in the clinical domain Text mining methods and software is also being researched and developed by major firms, including IBM and Microsoft , to further automate the mining and analysis processes, and by different firms working in the area of search and indexing in general as
714-420: Is a truism that 80% of business-relevant information originates in unstructured form, primarily text. These techniques and processes discover and present knowledge – facts, business rules , and relationships – that is otherwise locked in textual form, impenetrable to automated processing. Subtasks—components of a larger text-analytics effort—typically include: Text mining technology is now broadly applied to
756-557: Is also involved in the study of text encryption / decryption . A range of text mining applications in the biomedical literature has been described, including computational approaches to assist with studies in protein docking , protein interactions , and protein-disease associations. In addition, with large patient textual datasets in the clinical field, datasets of demographic information in population studies and adverse event reports, text mining can facilitate clinical studies and precision medicine. Text mining algorithms can facilitate
798-422: Is being used in business, particularly, in marketing, such as in customer relationship management . Coussement and Van den Poel (2008) apply it to improve predictive analytics models for customer churn ( customer attrition ). Text mining is also being applied in stock returns prediction. Sentiment analysis may involve analysis of products such as movies, books, or hotel reviews for estimating how favorable
840-453: Is defined in library and information science and documentation science as a fundamental, abstract idea: the word denotes everything that may be represented or memorialized to serve as evidence . The classic example provided by Briet is an antelope : "An antelope running wild on the plains of Africa should not be considered a document[;] she rules. But if it were to be captured, taken to a zoo and made an object of study, it has been made into
882-560: Is no exception in copyright law of Australia for text or data mining within the Copyright Act 1968 . The Australian Law Reform Commission has noted that it is unlikely that the "research and study" fair dealing exception would extend to cover such a topic either, given it would be beyond the "reasonable portion" requirement. Until recently, websites most often used text-based searches, which only found documents containing specific user-defined words or phrases. Now, through use of
SECTION 20
#1732802075172924-606: Is of importance to publishers who hold large databases of information needing indexing for retrieval. This is especially true in scientific disciplines, in which highly specific information is often contained within the written text. Therefore, initiatives have been taken such as Nature's proposal for an Open Text Mining Interface (OTMI) and the National Institutes of Health 's common Journal Publishing Document Type Definition (DTD) that would provide semantic cues to machines to answer specific queries contained within
966-570: Is roughly synonymous with text mining; indeed, Ronen Feldman modified a 2000 description of "text mining" in 2004 to describe "text analytics". The latter term is now used more frequently in business settings while "text mining" is used in some of the earliest application areas, dating to the 1980s, notably life-sciences research and government intelligence. The term text analytics also describes that application of text analytics to respond to business problems, whether independently or in conjunction with query and analysis of fielded, numerical data. It
1008-631: Is the process of deriving high-quality information from text . It involves "the discovery by computer of new, previously unknown information, by automatically extracting information from different written resources." Written resources may include websites , books , emails , reviews , and articles. High-quality information is typically obtained by devising patterns and trends by means such as statistical pattern learning . According to Hotho et al. (2005), there are three perspectives of text mining: information extraction , data mining , and knowledge discovery in databases (KDD). Text mining usually involves
1050-509: Is viewed as being legal. As text mining is transformative, meaning that it does not supplant the original work, it is viewed as being lawful under fair use. For example, as part of the Google Book settlement the presiding judge on the case ruled that Google's digitization project of in-copyright books was lawful, in part because of the transformative uses that the digitization project displayed—one such use being text and data mining. There
1092-537: The Computer Age , "document" usually denotes a primarily textual computer file , including its structure and format, e.g. fonts, colors, and images . Contemporarily, "document" is not defined by its transmission medium , e.g., paper, given the existence of electronic documents . "Documentation" is distinct because it has more denotations than "document". Documents are also distinguished from " realia ", which are three-dimensional objects that would otherwise satisfy
1134-617: The Gensim library, which focuses on word embedding-based text representations. Text mining is being used by large media companies, such as the Tribune Company , to clarify information and to provide readers with greater search experiences, which in turn increases site "stickiness" and revenue. Additionally, on the back end, editors are benefiting by being able to share, associate and package news across properties, significantly increasing opportunities to monetize content. Text analytics
1176-404: The application of natural language processing (NLP), different types of algorithms and analytical methods. An important phase of this process is the interpretation of the gathered information. A typical application is to scan a set of documents written in a natural language and either model the document set for predictive classification purposes or populate a database or search index with
1218-561: The definition of "document" because they memorialize or represent thought; documents are considered more as two-dimensional representations. While documents can have large varieties of customization, all documents can be shared freely and have the right to do so, creativity can be represented by documents, also. History, events, examples, opinions, stories etc. all can be expressed in documents. The concept of "document" has been defined by Suzanne Briet as "any concrete or symbolic indication, preserved or recorded, for reconstructing or for proving
1260-634: The first time the InterActive Task (IAT), designed to evaluate the practical usability of text mining tools in real-world biocuration tasks. BioCreative V had 5 different tracks, including an interactive task (IAT) for usability of text mining systems and a track using the BioC format for curating information for BioGRID . This bioinformatics-related article is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it . Text mining Text mining , text data mining ( TDM ) or text analytics
1302-468: The information extracted. The document is the basic element when starting with text mining. Here, we define a document as a unit of textual data, which normally exists in many types of collections. Text analytics describes a set of linguistic , statistical , and machine learning techniques that model and structure the information content of textual sources for business intelligence , exploratory data analysis , research , or investigation. The term

1344-406: The key actors, the key communities or parties, and general properties such as robustness or structural stability of the overall network, or centrality of certain nodes. This automates the approach introduced by quantitative narrative analysis, whereby subject-verb-object triplets are identified with pairs of actors linked by an action, or pairs formed by actor-object. Content analysis has been
1386-523: The mining of in-copyright works (such as by web mining ) without the permission of the copyright owner is illegal. In the UK in 2014, on the recommendation of the Hargreaves review , the government amended copyright law to allow text mining as a limitation and exception . It was the second country in the world to do so, following Japan , which introduced a mining-specific exception in 2009. However, owing to
1428-530: The possibility for scholars to analyze millions of documents in multiple languages with very limited manual intervention. Key enabling technologies have been parsing, machine translation , topic categorization , and machine learning. The automatic parsing of textual corpora has enabled the extraction of actors and their relational networks on a vast scale, turning textual data into network data. The resulting networks, which can contain thousands of nodes, are then analyzed by using tools from network theory to identify
1470-585: The problem of unstructured data ), to determine ideas communicated through text (e.g., sentiment analysis in social media ) and to support scientific discovery in fields such as the life sciences and bioinformatics . In business, applications are used to support competitive intelligence and automated ad placement , among numerous other activities. Many text mining software packages are marketed for security applications , especially monitoring and analysis of online plain text sources such as Internet news , blogs , etc. for national security purposes. It
1512-1047: The process of structuring the input text (usually parsing , along with the addition of some derived linguistic features and the removal of others, and subsequent insertion into a database ), deriving patterns within the structured data , and finally evaluation and interpretation of the output. 'High quality' in text mining usually refers to some combination of relevance , novelty , and interest. Typical text mining tasks include text categorization , text clustering , concept/entity extraction, production of granular taxonomies, sentiment analysis , document summarization , and entity relation modeling ( i.e. , learning relations between named entities ). Text analysis involves information retrieval , lexical analysis to study word frequency distributions, pattern recognition , tagging / annotation , information extraction , data mining techniques including link and association analysis, visualization , and predictive analytics . The overarching goal is, essentially, to turn text into data for analysis, via
1554-485: The restriction of the Information Society Directive (2001), the UK exception only allows content mining for non-commercial purposes. UK copyright law does not allow this provision to be overridden by contractual terms and conditions. The European Commission facilitated stakeholder discussion on text and data mining in 2013, under the title of Licenses for Europe. The fact that the focus on
1596-540: The solution to this legal issue was licenses, and not limitations and exceptions to copyright law, led representatives of universities, researchers, libraries, civil society groups and open access publishers to leave the stakeholder dialogue in May 2013. US copyright law , and in particular its fair use provisions, means that text mining in America, as well as other fair use countries such as Israel, Taiwan and South Korea,
1638-423: The stratification and indexing of specific clinical events in large patient textual datasets of symptoms, side effects, and comorbidities from electronic health records, event reports, and reports from specific diagnostic tests. One online text mining application in the biomedical literature is PubGene , a publicly accessible search engine that combines biomedical text mining with network visualization. GoPubMed
1680-410: The technology of digital documents has impeded our understanding of digital documents as documents. A conventional document, such as a mail message or a technical report , exists physically in digital technology as a string of bits, as does everything else in a digital environment. As an object of study, it has been made into a document. It has become physical evidence by those who study it. "Document"
1722-440: The text without removing publisher barriers to public access. Academic institutions have also become involved in the text mining initiative: Computational methods have been developed to assist with information retrieval from scientific literature. Published approaches include methods for searching, determining novelty, and clarifying homonyms among technical reports. The automatic analysis of vast textual corpora has created
