What is mining?
Why is it useful?
Open Access and UK “Hargreaves” legislation
How Cambridge can become a world leader
The Right to Read is the Right to Mine**PeterMurray-Rust, 2011

Use Cases of ContentMining
• Epidemiology of obesity (Cambridge U)
• (OKF, OpenTrials) Mapping clinical trials
repositories to reports in scientific literature
• Mining chemical reactions from patents
• Creating a bacterial supertree-of-life from
4500 papers
Polly has 20 seconds to read this paper…
…and 10,000 more
ContentMine software can do this in a few minutes
Polly: “there were 10,000 abstracts and due
to time pressures, we split this between 6
researchers. It took about 2-3 days of work
(working only on this) to get through
~1,600 papers each. So, at a minimum this
equates to 12 days of full-time work (and
would normally be done over several weeks
under normal time pressures).”
400,000 Clinical Trials
In 10 government registries

2009 => 2015. What’s
happened in last 6 years??
Search the whole scientific literature
For “2009-0100068-41”
ContentMine-ing strategy
• Discover. Crawl the COMPLETE relevant literature.
=> bibliography
• Scrape (download). ALL papers
• Index papers => Facts
• Search/analyze papers => complex science
• Extract, Annotate, Aggregate (“Transformative”)
What is “Content”?

Copyright and Mining
• UK (“Hargreaves”) 2014 legislation:
– “personal” “non-commercial*” “research” “data
analytics”
– legitimizes copying (?to disk), but not publishing
*teaching, textbooks, etc. may be “commercial”
STM Publishers prevent Mining
• FUD & disinformation about legality (Elsevier)
• Monopolies on infrastructure (“API”s, CCC
Rightfind)
• Technical obstruction (Wiley Captcha,
Macmillan Readcube)
• Restrictive contracts with libraries (ALL) [1]
• Wasting my/our time (ALL)

Editor's Notes

  • #2 Hi, I’m here to talk about AMI; a data extraction framework and tool. First, I just want highlight some of key contributors to the projects; Andy for his work on the ChemistryVisitor and Peter for the overall architecture. In this talk, I’m going to impress the importance of data in a specific format and its utility to automated machine processing. Then I’m going to demonstrate AMI’s architecture and the transformation of data as it flows through the process. I’m going to dwell a little on a core format used, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) before introducing the concept of visitors, which are pluggable context specific data extractors. Next, I’m going to introduce Andy’s ChemVisitor, for extracting semantic chemistry data, along with a few other visitors that can process non-chemistry specific data. Finally, I will demonstrate some uses of the ChemVisitor, within the realm of validation and metabolism.
