last week of october

Content:

This week was interesting, I've never thought I would revisit verbs and nouns in class again. Dr. Gonzalez did I really good job presenting this new topic. I also enjoyed that she involved the class in the process.

Dr. Gonzalez, introduced text mining methods. The overall all goal of text mining in biomedical informatics is to empower discovery by extracting knowledge that is embedded in the literature. I really like how Dr. Gonzalez explained finite state automata as playing a board game, and that you are unable to advanced unless you get the input necessary. In these lectures it was also discussed how to deal with ambiguity. In addition, we did an in-class exercised where we tried to look for ambiguity. Overall these were two great lectures, I am still a bit confused on all the symbols used, but I think it is just a matter of practice.

I found a good article on on challenges and advancements made in biomedical text mining I thought it was really interesting: http://intl-bib.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/8/5/358
