Accomplishments and Challenges in Literature Data Mining for Biology

, , , , and . BIOINFORMATICS, 18 (12): 1553–1561 (2002)

Abstract

We review recent results in literature data mining for biology and discuss the need and the steps for a chal- lenge evaluation for this field. Literature data mining has progressed from simple recognition of terms to extraction of interaction relationships from complex sentences, and has broadened from recognition of protein interactions to a range of problems such as improving homology search, identifying cellular location, and so on. To encourage participation and accelerate progress in this expanding field, we propose creating challenge evaluations, and we describe two specific applications in this context.
