Literature-based Discovery

Literature-based Discovery

About
  • The amount of scientific literature published is growing exponentially and researchers are finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with new findings. Literature-based discovery (LBD) systems attempt to address this situation by using data-driven approaches to uncover new, potentially meaningful relations between entities that could lead to new discoveries. LBD systems combine concepts from disparate sources potentially leading to new inferences in scientific understanding.

Software
  • Scientific-LBD -- A freely available python package for literature-based discovery using set association measures.
  • ALBD -- A freely available perl suit for literature-based discovery using set association measures.
