Text Mining for Bioinformatics Using Biomedical Literature
Biomedical literature has become a rich source of information for various applications. Automatic text mining methods can make the processing of extracting information from a large set of documents more efficient. However, since natural language is not easily processed by computer programs, it is necessary to develop algorithms to transform text into a structured representation. Scientific texts present a challenge to text mining methods since the language used is formal and highly specialized. This article presents an overview of the current biomedical text mining tools and bioinformatics applications using them.
