SUMMARY:Postponed: Text mining for public health reviews (The Robot Analys
 t) - Sophia Ananiadou\, Professor of Computer Science\, University of Manc
 hester

DESCRIPTION:The unstructured and ambiguous nature of language in public he
 alth literature is a barrier to the accessibility and discovery of informa
 tion.  I will discuss the limitations of conventional keyword-based search
 \, which are not well suited for the development of sensitive search strat
 egies. Semantic search functionalities (e.g.\, faceted search\, automatic 
 query expansion\, queries as natural language questions) offered by semant
 ic systems developed by the National Centre for Text Mining will be presen
 ted. Then methods which reduce the burden of semi-automatic citation scree
 ning will be presented within the context of a novel system\, the RobotAna
 lyst\, developed for Public Health England.\n \nCV \nSophia Ananiadou is P
 rofessor of Computer Science in the School of Computer Science\, Universit
 y of Manchester and director of the National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTe
 M). Her main areas of research are semantic text mining and semantic searc
 h techniques for applications in domains such as medicine\, systems biolog
 y\, public health\, chemistry\, biodiversity and history of medicine. She 
 is also involved in developing large-scale terminological resources (BioLe
 xicon) and interoperable text mining platforms (Argo). Her current and rec
 ent projects include semantic search for Europe PubMedCentral\, supporting
  evidence-based systematic reviews in collaboration with NICE\,  supportin
 g the development of biomarker tests in the Manchester Molecular Pathology
  Innovation Centre (MMPathIC)\, mining time sensitive information from his
 torical medical documents and extracting complex claims for the developmen
 t of networks\, hypothesis generation and experimental testing in Cancer B
 iology (Big Mechanism). \n
