    BioLT Literature Mining Tool

    Category  Cross-Omics>Data/Text Mining Systems/Tools

    Abstract  The BioLT Literature Mining Tool is a customizable tool for
    intuitive and structured text mining. BioLT combines biological and
    medical term dictionaries with advanced free-text querying capabilities.
    The tool provides comprehensive and structured answers to complex
    questions. Search results can be used for iterative refinement and
    extension of queries.

    Products features/capabilities include:

    Automatically generated expert knowledge -- The BioLT tool delivers
    clearly structured results with extraordinary recall and precision. The
    BioLT tool automatically generates comprehensive results
    comparable to the knowledge of expert scientists. The BioLT text-
    mining approach can work for many disease areas (such as cancer,
    cardiovascular, neurological and infectious diseases) and for
    additional biological research areas as well.

    Text-mining technology -- In contrast to classical information retrieval
    systems, the BioLT software preprocesses the underlying text
    databases (such as scientific or patent information) with specific
    background information. The system first recognizes all chunks of text
    (phrases), special patterns for scientific notations and words
    belonging to terminology dictionaries. After the syntactic analysis, the
    system tries to determine the meaning of ambiguous terms.

    To ensure the most complete results, potentially false meanings are
    marked, but are Not deleted from the knowledge database. The
    resulting text databases are manually curated by experts to create the
    thematic dictionaries used by the BioLT system. The BioLT tool uses
    the BioRS Integration and Retrieval System to add Boolean free-text
    search capabilities. Diverse analysis parameters including the scope
    of the search, the level of precision, and the resolution of terms with
    multiple meanings and the statistical representation of the results can
    be selected.

    Integration into biological and medical project management -- The
    BioLT tool uses high-quality thematic dictionaries to identify
    relationships between research objects. The dictionaries can be
    extended and customized.

    The following dictionaries are currently available:

    1) Disease -- 260,000 entries.

    2) Gene name -- 130,000 human gene names, including name
    variants.

    3) Compound -- 82,000 entries.

    4) Pathway -- 61,000 entries.

    5) Organism -- 275,000 entries.

    6) Other sub domains (e.g., polymorphism, therapy, tissues, cells).

    These relationship data sets can be imported into the BioXM
    Knowledge Management Environment for further curation. With the
    upload, they are automatically integrated into a user defined biological
    or medical context. Thus, BioLT results become part of an efficient
    infrastructure even for large distributed R&D projects.

    Additional features/capabilities include:

    1) Complete and precise data mining from free text.

    2) Advanced query language (using Boolean operators, dictionaries,
    wildcards and topics).

    3) Automatic vocabulary generation for any domain.

    4) Acronym detection tool for greater precision.

    5) Several ranking methods (chi-square, cosine, etc.).

    Flexible access --

    1) Yearly subscription to the Biomax Web portal to extract information
    from the Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online
    (MEDLINE) database using any common Web browser.

    2) Customized installation to extract information from other public or
    proprietary text sources.

    Note: See G6G Product Number 20094 for additional product info from
    this manufacturer.
