Exploring the use of image text for biomedical literature retrieval.

In biomedical publications, figures and images concisely summarize a paper's experimental findings and results. Recent studies have therefore explored the use of images to assist in information retrieval (IR) in biomedicine, mostly based on mining …

Yale Image Finder (YIF): a new search engine for retrieving biomedical images.

UNLABELLED: Yale Image Finder (YIF) is a publicly accessible search engine featuring a new way of retrieving biomedical images and associated papers based on the text carried inside the images. Image queries can also be issued against the image …

Leveraging the structure of the Semantic Web to enhance information retrieval for proteomics.

MOTIVATION: Proteomics researchers need to be able to quickly retrieve relevant information from the web and the biomedical literature. To improve information retrieval, we leverage the structure of the semantic web, developing an approach for …

The BiolAD-DB system : an informatics system for clinical and genetic data.

The Biology of Addictive Diseases-Database (BiolAD-DB) system is a research bioinformatics system for archiving, analyzing, and processing of complex clinical and genetic data. The database schema employs design principles for handling complex …

Probabilistic inference of molecular networks from noisy data sources.

Information on molecular networks, such as networks of interacting proteins, comes from diverse sources that contain remarkable differences in distribution and quantity of errors. Here, we introduce a probabilistic model useful for predicting protein …

GeneWays: a system for extracting, analyzing, visualizing, and integrating molecular pathway data.

The immense growth in the volume of research literature and experimental data in the field of molecular biology calls for efficient automatic methods to capture and store information. In recent years, several groups have worked on specific problems …
