CRAB 2.0: A text mining tool for supporting literature review in chemical cancer risk assessment
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chemical cancer risk assessment is a literature-dependent task which could greatly benefit from text mining support. In this paper we describe CRAB – the first publicly available tool for supporting the risk assessment workflow. CRAB, currently at version 2.0, facilitates the gathering of relevant literature via PubMed queries as well as semantic classification, statistical analysis and efficient study of the literature. The tool is freely available as an in-browser application.

متن کاملEvaluation of carcinogenic modes of action for pesticides in fruit on the Swedish market using a text-mining tool
Toxicity caused by chemical mixtures has emerged as a significant challenge for toxicologists and risk assessors. Information on individual chemicals' modes of action is an important part of the hazard identification step. In this study, an automatic text mining-based tool was employed as a method to identify the carcinogenic modes of action of pesticides frequently found in fruit on the Swedis...
