Text Mining for Causal Relations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a semantic relation, the automatic extraction of linguistic patterns that express that relation is a rather difficult problem. This paper presents a semi-automatic method of discovering generally applicable lexico-syntactic patterns that refer to the causal relation. The patterns are found automatically, but their validation is done semi-automatically.

Data Mining of Causal Relations from Text: Analysing Maritime Accident Investigation Reports
Text mining is a process of extracting information of interest from text. Such a method includes techniques from various areas such as Information Retrieval (IR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Information Extraction (IE). In this study, text mining methods are applied to extract causal relations from maritime accident investigation reports collected from the Marine Accident Investigati...
متن کاملLiterature Mining using Bayesian Networks
In biomedical domains, free text electronic literature is an important resource for knowledge discovery and acquisition, particularly to provide a priori components for evaluating or learning domain models. Aiming at the automated extraction of this prior knowledge we discuss the types of uncertainties in a domain with respect to causal mechanisms, formulate assumptions about their report in sc...

Automatic extraction of biological network information is one of the most desired and most complex tasks in biological text mining. The BioCreative track 4 provides training data and an evaluation environment for the extraction of causal relationships in Biological Expression Language (BEL). BEL is a modeling language that is easily editable by humans or by automatic systems and can express cau...
متن کاملMarine Variable Linker: Exploring Relations between Changing Variables in Marine Science Literature
We report on a demonstration system for text mining of literature in marine science and related disciplines. It automatically extracts variables (e.g. CO2) involved in events of change/increase/decrease (e.g increasing CO2), as well as cooccurrence and causal relations among these events (e.g. increasing CO2 causes a decrease in pH in seawater), resulting in a big knowledge graph. A web-based g...
متن کاملExtracting Explicit and Implicit Causal Relations from Sparse, Domain-Specific Texts
Various supervised algorithms for mining causal relations from large corpora exist. These algorithms have focused on relations explicitly expressed with causal verbs, e.g. “to cause”. However, the challenges of extracting causal relations from domain-specific texts have been overlooked. Domain-specific texts are rife with causal relations that are implicitly expressed using verbal and non-verba...
