Quantifying and filtering knowledge generated by literature based discovery (2017)
Journal Article
Preiss, J., & Stevenson, M. (2017). Quantifying and filtering knowledge generated by literature based discovery. BMC Bioinformatics, 18(Sup. 7), 249. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-017-1641-9

Background Literature based discovery (LBD) automatically infers missed connections between concepts in literature. It is often assumed that LBD generates more information than can be reasonably examined. Methods We present a detailed analysis o...
