Paula Buttery: Abstract
This talk will provide a general introduction to the methods and
challenges of text mining: a process by which information is discovered
from text. A typical text mining pipeline will be presented and the roles
of Information Retrieval, Natural Language Processing and Information
Extraction will be discussed. Currently text mining techniques are being
widely employed within the BioMedical domain: for instance, to discover
patterns in the interaction of proteins from academic writing. An example
of text mining from this domain will be presented as well as an example of
how text mining may be used to improve our understanding of the cognition
of language.
