New Functions in V4
• Massive Entity/Relation Extraction
• Graph Indexing and Mining
• Integration of Expert Knowledge & Reasoning
• Personalization & Info/Knowledge Sharing
• “Plug and Play” (PnP)
Massive Entity Recognition
• Class1: Small Variation (Dictionary/Ontology)
– Organism, Anatomy , Biological Process, Pathway,
Protein Family
• Class2: Medium Variation
– Gene, cis Regulatory Element
• Class3: Large Variation
– Phenotype, Behavior
Massive Relation Extraction
•
Expression Location
–
•
•
•
the expression of a gene in some location (tissues, body
parts)
Homology/Orthology
–
one gene is homologous to another gene
Biological process
–
one gene has some role in a biological process
Genetic/Physical/Regulatory Interaction
–
–
one gene interacts with another gene in a certain fashion (3
types of relations)
a simple case: Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI)
Entity Relation Graph Mining
• The extracted entities and relations form a
weighted graph
• Need to develop techniques to mine the graph
for knowledge
– Store graphs
– Index graphs
– Mining algorithms (neighbor finding, path finding,
entity comparison, outlier detection, frequent
subgraphs,….)
– Mining language
Integration of Expert Knowledge
• How can we combine expert knowledge with
knowledge extracted from literature?
• Possible strategies:
– Interactive mining (human knowledge is used to
guide the next step of mining)
– Trainable programs (focused miner, targeting at
certain kind of knowledge)
– Inference-based integration
Inference-Based Discovery
•
•
•
Encode all kinds of knowledge in the same knowledge
representation language
Perform logic inferences
Example
– Regulate (GeneA, GeneB, ContextC). [Literature mining]
– SeqSimilar(GeneA,GeneA’) [Sequence mining]
– Regulate(X,Y,C) Regulate(Z,Y,C) & SeqSimilar(X,Z) [Human
knowledge]
– ? Regulate(GeneA’,GeneB,ContextC)
Personalization & Workflow Management
• Different users have different tasks 
personalization
– Tracking a user’s history and learning a user’s
preferences
– Exploiting the preferences to customize/optimize
the support
– Allowing a user to define/build special function
modules
• Workflow management
Information/Knowledge Sharing
• Different users may perform similar tasks 
Information/Knowledge sharing
– Capturing user intentions
– Recommend information/knowledge
– How do we solve the problem of privacy?
• Massive collaborations?
– Each user contributes a small amount of knowledge
– All the knowledge can be combined to infer new
knowledge
Plug and Play
• Users’ tasks vary significantly
• Need flexible combinations of basic modules
• Need to move toward a “discovery
workbench”
– How do we design basic modules?
– How do we support synthesis of information and
knowledge?
