THE USUAL WAY BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH IS DONE• Read a lot of papers on a topic• Propose one or more hypotheses• Design a series of experiments• Perform the experiments• Prove or disprove the hypotheses• Publish the results on a journal

WHY DO WE NEED TEXT MINING• Scientists publish papers, not relations or
data instances• We need to reconstruct the knowledge out of
the publications• Then, computers will be able to help us
analyze the knowledge base, probably bringing us new ideas
OVERVIEW OF THE PROCESS

ONE PROTOTYPE APPLICATION: ROBOT SCIENTIST “ADAM”

NOT JUST EXPERIMENTS: HYPOTHESES GENERATION, TOO• Gather information from a knowledge base• Propose hypotheses• Design a series of experiments• Run the experiments physically• Interpret the results• Publish the results on a journal (NOT YET)
SEE IT IN ACTION!
