Using concepts in literature-based discovery: simulating Swanson's Raynaud-fish oil and migraine-magnesium discoveries
TL;DR: A two-step model of the discovery process in which hypotheses are generated and subsequently tested is proposed and implemented in a Natural Language Processing system that uses biomedical Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) concepts as its unit of analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
A probabilistic similarity metric for Medline records: A model for author name disambiguation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a model for estimating the probability that a pair of author names (sharing last name and first initial), appearing on two different Medline articles, refer to the same individual.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Solid bibliographic evidence is found suggesting that thalidomide might be useful for treating acute pancreatitis, chronic hepatitis C, Helicobacter pylori-induced gastritis, and myasthenia gravis, but experimental and clinical evaluation is needed to validate and assess the trade-off between therapeutic benefits and toxicities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Text-based discovery in biomedicine: The architecture of the DAD-system
Marc Weeber,Henny Klein,Alan R. Aronson,James G. Mork,Lolkje T. W. de Jong-van den Berg,Rein Vos +5 more
TL;DR: The DAD-system is reported on, a concept-based Natural Language Processing system for PubMed citations that provides the biomedical researcher with a literature-based discovery tool to explore new useful domains.
