Cloud-Based Phrase Mining and Analysis of User-Defined Phrase-Category Association in Biomedical Publications

Abstract

The rapid accumulation of biomedical textual data has far exceeded the human capacity of manual curation and analysis, necessitating novel text-mining tools to extract biological insights from large volumes of scientific reports. The Context-aware Semantic Online Analytical Processing (CaseOLAP) pipeline, developed in 2016, successfully quantifies user-defined phrase-category relationships through the analysis of textual data. CaseOLAP has many biomedical applications. We have developed a protocol for a cloud-based environment supporting the end-to-end phrase-mining and analyses platform. Our protocol includes data preprocessing (e.g., downloading, extraction, and parsing text documents), indexing and searching with Elasticsearch, creating a functional document structure called Text-Cube, and quantifying phrase-category relationships using the core CaseOLAP algorithm. Our data preprocessing generates key-value mappings for all documents involved. The preprocessed data is indexed to carry out a search of documents including entities, which further facilitates the Text-Cube creation and CaseOLAP score calculation. The obtained raw CaseOLAP scores are interpreted using a series of integrative analyses, including dimensionality reduction, clustering, temporal, and geographical analyses. Additionally, the CaseOLAP scores are used to create a graphical database, which enables semantic mapping of the documents. CaseOLAP defines phrase-category relationships in an accurate (identifies relationships), consistent (highly reproducible), and efficient manner (processes 100,000 words/sec). Following this protocol, users can access a cloud-computing environment to support their own configurations and applications of CaseOLAP. This platform offers enhanced accessibility and empowers the biomedical community with phrase-mining tools for widespread biomedical research applications.

It has been applied in biomedical research 5 to study entity-category association. The CaseOLAP platform consists of six major steps including download and extraction of data, parsing, indexing, Text-Cube creation, entity count, and CaseOLAP score calculation; which is the main focus of the protocol (Figure 1, Figure 2, Table 1).

Treatment of Cancer Gene Changes in Chronic Myeloid Leukemia by Big Data Analysis Platform-Based Dasatinib

“…Data mining refers to the recognition of useful information from considerable, fuzzy, noisy, incomplete, and random datasets [20]. The main purpose of applying data mining technology in gene analysis is to process massive gene expression profile data by strong analytical capacity, find the relationship networks existing among genes, and provide the basis for the study on gene changes [21,22]. In Internet hybrid treatment, clinical treatment tests offered considerable data from various sources.…”

Insights and perspectives into clinical biomarker discovery in pediatric heart failure and congenital heart disease—a narrative review

“…In a pilot study performed in Long Beach, we conducted We conducted a text mining algorithm for 8,325 heart related proteins over 33M publications on PubMed to quantify these according to their correlation in CHD and created a knowledge graph. Detailed description and methods are described previously (27,28).…”

“…Hence, a vast amount of unstructured text data in over 33M publications (PubMed) was mined (~400 manuscripts/sec) according to a Text Mining algorithm to calculate proteindisease relationships developed by our collaborator (27,28,64). Out of 8,325 heart related protein, 937 proteins associated to CHD were identified.…”
