Biomedical information extraction and data integration
Project Summary:
While the amount of useful information generated by modern society keeps
increasing exponentially, information access, analysis, and synthesis
technologies are progressing at a much slower pace, thus making much of the data useless.
Terabytes of data in public Biomedical data sources, in modern clinical setting, on the Web,
E-books, and digital libraries could help solve thousands of our problems,
if we just had the right leverage.
The goal of this research is to simplify access, thus opening the door to development of
advanced applications that were previously infeasible. Heterogeneous, often distributed,
large-scale real-world data makes this goal very challenging. Nevertheless, it is possible
through interdisciplinary research in Biomedical Informatics, Information Retrieval,
Natural Language Processing, and Machine Learning.
