Literature‐related discovery

Abstract: IntroductionDiscovery in science is the generation of novel, interesting, plausible, and intelligible knowledge about the objects of study. Literature-related discovery (LRD) is the linking of two or more concepts that have heretofore not been linked (i.e., disjoint), in order to produce new knowledge (i.e., potential discovery). Two major variants of LRD are: open discovery systems (ODS), where one starts with a problem and generates a potential solution (or vice versa), and closed discovery systems (CDS), wh… Show more

“…In contrast to the web mining chapter that explores a range of data types, this chapter considers text exclusively and includes techniques developed in the information science and computational linguistics communities. Similarly, this chapter relates closely to Kostoff and his colleagues' review of literature‐based discovery (Kostoff et al, 2007) and their subsequent ARIST chapter titled “Literature‐related Discovery” (Kostoff, Block, Solka, Briggs, Rushenberg, Stump, et al, 2009), but it is wider in scope than LBD alone.…”

“…Don’s first inclination was to filter out B-terms that did not have adequate frequency of mentions in each literature, implying that he was focusing on the cores (Swanson & Smalheiser, 1997). In contrast, Kostoff et al (2009), Petrič et al (2010), and Workman et al (2016) have argued that low-frequency terms which reside in the penumbra of one or both fields may sometimes be more promising for finding links that are interesting and unexpected.…”

“…Reelin has been shown to bind to certain proteins, and an LBD analysis identified other proteins (that share certain features with the known set) as promising reelin‐binding proteins (Homayouni, Heinrich, Wei, & Berry, 2005). By their very nature, similarity algorithms will find only incremental discoveries—those that are similar to what in machine learning is called “the training set” (see also Kostoff et al, 2009).…”

“…The goal of LBD is really to generate or assess new hypotheses that might represent potential scientific discoveries and, hence, are worthy of follow‐up in the laboratory or clinic. The term LBD can be ambiguous or misleading (Kostoff, 2007; Kostoff et al, 2009) and Bekhuis (2006) has proposed that it should be replaced with some alternative term such as “exploratory mining.” “Discovery” has many different meanings in different contexts and at different stages in the cycle of scientific discovery (Grinnell, 2009). An LBD system might be very useful when it discovers things that are novel to the investigator doing the search, even if it is well known to other experts or even to the scientific community at large.…”
