Research Abstract

Supervised machine learning methods are very often used in research and development of natural language processing technologies. We have designed and developed prototypical features that allow users to exploit the machine learning methods more easily and effectively, supporting automation and result analysis. We have applied these features to text mining from English biomedical literatures, obtaining user feedbacks for potential future works
