EvidenceFinder search tool now available to test

2011-08-02

EvidenceFinder, a search tool based on text mining technology developed as part of the UKPMC project, is now available to test. EvidenceFinder presents the user with a list of questions relating to their query terms. For example, given the search term "IL-2", EvidenceFinder will present questions such as What inhibits IL-2 receptor?, What binds to IL-2 receptor?, etc. These questions allow statements in the text to be located that discuss the search topic in specific ways. This allows information to be located that might otherwise be missed, and to quickly establish which articles do and do not contain information being sought.
