DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Recent developments in text mining research, and in scientific publication, have brought us to the moment when the long-standing potential of natural language processing technology to benefit biomedical researchers may finally be realized. Technological advances, recent results in computational linguistics, maturation of biomedical ontology, and the advent of resources such as PubMedCentral have set the stage for an attempt at an integrated computational analysis of a large proportion of the full text biomedical literature. Such an analysis has the potential to dramatically extend the way that biomedical researchers can effectively use the scientific literature, particularly in the analysis of genome-scale datasets, broadly accelerating and increasing the efficiency of scientific discovery. We hypothesize that it is now possible to extract a wide variety of ontologically-grounded entities and relationships by processing the entire PubMedCentral document collection accurately and with good coverage, to use this extracted information to produce new genres of scientifically valuable tools and analysis techniques, and to demonstrate its utility in the analysis of genome-scale data. The challenges that we plan to overcome range from fundamental linguistic issues (e.g. cross- document coreference resolution) to high-performance computing (e.g. scaling up integrated processing to include millions of complex documents), to fielding practical systems that can exploit enormous knowledge-bases to accelerate the analysis of very large molecular data sets.

描述(由申请人提供)： 文本挖掘研究和科学出版物的最新发展将我们带到了这样一个时刻，即自然语言处理技术造福生物医学研究人员的长期潜力可能最终实现。技术进步、计算语言学的最新成果、生物医学本体论的成熟以及PubMedCentral等资源的出现，为尝试对大部分全文生物医学文献进行集成计算分析奠定了基础。这样的分析有可能极大地扩展生物医学研究人员有效利用科学文献的方式，特别是在分析基因组规模的数据集时，广泛地加速和提高科学发现的效率。我们假设，现在可以通过准确和良好地处理整个PubMedCentral文档集来提取各种基于本体的实体和关系，使用这些提取的信息来产生新的具有科学价值的工具和分析技术，并展示其在基因组规模数据分析中的效用。我们计划克服的挑战从基本的语言问题(例如跨文档共指关系解析)到高性能计算(例如扩大集成处理以包括数百万个复杂的文档)，再到部署可以利用巨大的知识库来加速对非常大的分子数据集的分析的实用系统。
