Towards Bisociative Knowledge Discovery
نویسنده
چکیده
Knowledge discovery generally focuses on finding patterns within a reasonably well connected domain of interest. In this article we outline a framework for the discovery of new connections between domains (so called bisociations), supporting the creative discovery process in a more powerful way. We motivate this approach, show the difference to classical data analysis and conclude by describing a number of different types of domain-crossing connections.

Bisociative Knowledge Discovery for Microarray Data Analysis
The paper presents an approach to computational knowledge discovery through the mechanism of bisociation. Bisociative reasoning is at the heart of creative, accidental discovery (e.g., serendipity), and is focused on finding unexpected links by crossing contexts. Contextualization and linking between highly diverse and distributed data and knowledge sources is therefore crucial for the implemen...
متن کاملTowards Discovery of Subgraph Bisociations
The discovery of surprising relations in large, heterogeneous information repositories is gaining increasing importance in real world data analysis. If these repositories come from diverse origins, forming different domains, domain bridging associations between otherwise weakly connected domains can provide insights into the data that are not accomplished by aggregative approaches. In this pape...
متن کاملFrom Information Networks to Bisociative Information Networks
The integration of heterogeneous data from various domains without the need for prefiltering prepares the ground for bisociative knowledge discoveries where attempts are made to find unexpected relations across seemingly unrelated domains. Information networks, due to their flexible data structure, lend themselves perfectly to the integration of these heterogeneous data sources. This chapter pr...
متن کاملNetwork Analysis: Overview
Heterogeneous information networks or BisoNets, as they are called in the context of bisociative knowledge discovery, are a flexible and popular form of representing data in numerous fields. Additionally, such networks can be created or derived from other types of information using, e.g., the methods given in Part II of this volume. This part of the book describes various network algorithms for...
متن کاملApplications and Evaluation: Overview
Eronen at al. [1] discusses Biomine as a BisoNet which integrates heterogeneous biological databases. It consists of over 1 million nodes, representing biological entities (genes, proteins, ontology terms, . . . ), and over 8 million edges, representing weighted relations of different types. Biomine search algorithms implement link discovery between distant nodes in the graph, and can be exploi...
