Towards automatic extraction of research findings from the literature

AMIA Annu Symp Proc. 2007 Oct 11:979.

Abstract

Most information extraction systems only process an article's title and abstract. However, a major source of research findings is an article's tables and figures. The aim of this study is to: (1) explore the efficacy of applying a hybrid information extraction system to the problem of identifying research findings in the scientific literature and (2) improve results by processing article title, abstract and table/figure text.
