Event Interpretation: A Step towards Event-Centred Text Minin

Event-centred text mining facilitates semantic querying of document content, providing greater descriptive power and more focused results than traditional keyword searches. In the biomedical domain, automatic assignment of high-level interpretative information to events, e.g., general information content and level of certainty, is useful for a number of tasks. In this paper we motivate the need for correct interpretation of events and describe a new approach for tackling the problem in the biomedical domain.
