Mining Biomedical Knowledge Using Mutual information ABC

The novel connection between Raynaud disease and fish oils was uncovered from two disjointed biomedical literature sets by Swanson in 1986. Since then, there have been many approaches to uncover novel connections by mining the biomedical literatures. This paper presents a Mining Biomedical Knowledge method Using Mutual information ABC. For a given starting medical concept, it discovers new, potentially meaningful relations/connection with other concepts that have not been published in the medical literature before. The discovered relations/connections are novel and can be useful for domain expert to conduct new experiment and try new treatment.
