Linguamatics and Chemaxon Hook Up for Text Mining

February 7, 2012

Unlike Web search, Text Mining is the discovery of new, previously unknown information, by automatically extracting high quality information from written documents and texts.

According to a recent news release entitled “Linguamatics and Chemaxon Announce Project to Enhance Text Mining in Chemistry” text mining software creator Linguamatics and software developer ChemAxon have announced that they are partnering for a new and exciting project that is code named “ChiKEl”, or Chemically Informed Knowledge Extraction from Literature.

The release states:

ChiKEL will provide the first interactive text mining system designed for chemistry, integrating advanced chemical search and extraction of relationships between structures and other biological or chemical entities. By combining chemical search and text mining, users will be able to perform chemical structure and biological searches to extract structured information for further analysis from patents, scientific articles, and internal documents.

The scientific processes of finding and extracting information is becoming more and more relevant as structured and unstructured information continues to grow at an increasingly rapid pace. By Integrating name?to?structure and structure search directly within an interactive text mining system, ChiKEl enables structure search to be mixed with linguistic constraints for more precise filtering.
