The Arizona BioPathway (ABP) system extracts and displays biological regulatory pathway information from the abstracts of journal articles. This study uses relations extracted from more than 200 PubMed abstracts presented in a tabular and graphical user interface with built-in search and aggregation functionality. This article presents a task-centered assessment of the usefulness and usability of the ABP system focusing on its relation aggregation and visualization functionalities. Results suggest that our graph-based visualization is more efficient in supporting pathway analysis tasks and is perceived as more useful and easier to use as compared to a text-based literature viewing method. Relation aggregation significantly contributes to knowledge acquisition efficiency. Together, the graphic and tabular views in the ABP Visualizer provide a flexible and effective interface for pathway relation browsing and analysis. Our study contributes to pathway-related research and biological information extraction by assessing the value of a multi-view, relation-based interface which supports user-controlled exploration of pathway information across multiple granularities.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aQuiñones, Karin, D.1 aSu, Hua1 aMarshall, Byron1 aEggers, Shauna1 aChen, Hsinchun uhttp://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=4300830&arnumber=4300844&count=17&index=501468nas a2200205 4500008004100000245006900041210006900110260000900179300001300188490000700201520086100208653001501069653000801084100002001092700001201112700002101124700001901145700001901164856007901183 2006 eng d00aAggregating Automatically Extracted Regulatory Pathway Relations0 aAggregating Automatically Extracted Regulatory Pathway Relations c2006 a100- 1080 v103 aAutomatic tools to extract information from biomedical texts are needed to help researchers leverage the vast and increasing body of biomedical literature. While several biomedical relation extraction systems have been created and tested, little work has been done to meaningfully organize the extracted relations. Organizational processes should consolidate multiple references to the same objects over various levels of granularity, connect those references to other resources, and capture contextual information. We propose a feature decomposition approach to relation aggregation to support a five-level aggregation framework. Our BioAggregate tagger uses this approach to identify key features in extracted relation name strings. We show encouraging feature assignment accuracy and report substantial consolidation in a network of extracted relations.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aSu, Hua1 aMcDonald, Daniel1 aEggers, Shauna1 aChen, Hsinchun uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/Marshall_IEEE_TITB_2005.pdf01720nas a2200169 4500008004100000245010700041210006900148260000900217520116000226653001501386653000801401100002001409700001201429700001801441700001901459856007201478 2005 eng d00aLinking Ontological Resources Using Aggregatable Substance Identifiers to Organize Extracted Relations0 aLinking Ontological Resources Using Aggregatable Substance Ident c20053 aSystems that extract biological regulatory pathway relations from free-text sources are
intended to help researchers leverage vast and growing collections of research literature.
Several systems to extract such relations have been developed but little work has focused on
how those relations can be usefully organized (aggregated) to support visualization systems or
analysis algorithms. Ontological resources that enumerate name strings for different types of
biomedical objects should play a key role in the organization process. In this paper we
delineate five potentially useful levels of relational granularity and propose the use of
aggregatable substance identifiers to help reduce lexical ambiguity. An aggregatable
substance identifier applies to a gene and its products. We merged 4 extensive lexicons and
compared the extracted strings to the text of five million MEDLINE abstracts. We report on
the ambiguity within and between name strings and common English words. Our results show
an 89% reduction in ambiguity for the extracted human substance name strings when using an
aggregatable substance approach.10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMarshall, Byron1 aSu, Hua1 aMcDonald, Dan1 aChen, Hsinchun uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/marshall_PSB2005.pdf01188nas a2200181 4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260000900153520064400162653001500806653000800821100002000829700002100849700001200870700001900882700001900901856008600920 2005 eng d00aVisualizing Aggregated Biological Pathway Relations0 aVisualizing Aggregated Biological Pathway Relations c20053 aThe Genescene development team has constructed an aggregation interface for automatically-extracted biomedical pathway

Improving the accessibility of findings has potential to speed hypothesis generation.Results: We present the Arizona Relation Parser that differs from other parsers in its use of a broad coverage syntax-semantic hybrid grammar. While syntax grammars have generally been tested over more documents, semantic grammars have outperformed them in precision and recall. We combined access to syntax and semantic information from a single grammar. The parser was trained using 40 PubMed abstracts and then tested using 100 unseen abstracts, half for precision and half for recall. Expert evaluation showed that the parser extracted biologically relevant relations with 89% precision. Recall of expert identified relations with semantic filtering was 35 and 61% before semantic filtering. Such results approach the higher-performing semantic parsers. However, the AZ parser was tested over a greater variety of writing styles and semantic content. 10aAccounting10aBIS1 aMcDonald, Dan1 aChen, Hsinchun1 aSu, Hua1 aMarshall, Byron uhttp://people.oregonstate.edu/~marshaby/Papers/MCDONALD_BIOINFORMATICS.pdf
