However, current tools for patent management mostly support keyword search [5 9], whereas only few projects exist that target the extraction of specific facts from patents [10, 11].
Beyond the generic discourse level information, researchers have also investigated the extraction of key facts pertinent to clinical trials.
Through the extraction of various facts of drug metabolism, not only the DDIs that are explicitly mentioned in text can be extracted but also the potential interactions that can be inferred by reasoning.
In recent years, text mining in general and natural language processing in particular, has become the method of choice for the extraction and collation of facts from document corpora.
Early attempts to make a 'first pass' extraction of gene expression facts based on cooccurrences of anatomy terms and genes in captions proved too inaccurate.
For the extraction of proteins this fact is also known, but notably less examined.
Up-to-date advances in technologies of signal-processing and mathematical models have made it matter-of-fact to develop advanced FECG detection, extraction, and analysis techniques.
CoreSCs provide the structure and context to all statements and relations within an article and their automatic recognition can greatly facilitate biomedical information extraction by characterizing the different types of facts, hypotheses and evidence available in a scientific publication.
In fact, the extraction of the full state machine would be impossible for a session reconstruction tool, since that the tool is off-line during the reconstruction and just operates based on a given set of recorded trace.
These annotations could then be used for the annotation of text documents and subsequent extraction of compound related SAR or SPR facts and knowledge by data mining methods which are beyond the scope of this present work.
