miniproject summary

proposed activities

• Use the communal corpus epidemic50noCov articles.
• Scrutinizing the 50 articles to know the true positives and false positives, that is, whether the articles are about viral epidemic or not.
• Using ami search to find whether the articles mentioned any comorbidity in a viral epidemic or not.
• Sectioning the articles using ami:section to extract the relevant information on comorbidity. Annotating with dictionaries to create ami DataTables.
• Refining and rerunning the query to get a corpus of 950 articles.
• Using relevant ML technique for the classification of data whether the articles are based on viral epidemic and the diseases/disorders that co-occur.

outcomes

• A spreadsheet as well as a graph will be developed based on the comorbidity during a viral epidemic and their count.
• Development of the ML model for data classification on accuracy.

corpora

• Initially the communal corpus epidemic50noCov will be used.
• Later a corpus of 950 articles will be created.

dictionaries

• Disease (https://github.com/petermr/openVirus/tree/master/dictionaries/diseases)

software

• getpapers to create the corpus of 950 articles.
• AMI for creating and using dictionaries, sectioning.
• SPARQL for creating dictionaries.
• KNIME for workflow and analytics.

constraints

Progress done

1. The 50 articles in communal corpus epidemic50noCov were binary classified as true and false positives manually and a spreadsheet was developed.
2. ami search was used in the corpus of 50 articles and the html DataTables on disease dictionary waere created.
3. The corpus was sectioned using ami section using reference from https://github.com/petermr/openVirus/wiki/ami:section.
4. getpapers was used to create a corpus of 950 articles regarding human viral epidemics(expect COVID-19) by the syntax getpapers -q "viral epidemics AND human NOT COVID NOT corona virus NOT SARS-Cov-2" -o disease_mp -f ve/log.txt -k 950 -x -p. XML -949 files & PDF -902 files were created.
