Obvio

Obvio (spanish for obvious), is the name of our project on Semantics-Driven Techniques for Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) in Biomedical Literature. The goal is to uncover hidden connections between concepts in text, thereby leading to scientific hypothesis generation from public knowledge. Obvio is driven by assertions extracted from structured text and assertions obtained from structured knowledge sources (such as the UMLS).
