Abstract
The AIM Lab and Data-driven approaches in Biomedical Ontology Research
Dejing Dou
In this talk, I will first introduce research projects and people in the AIM Lab (http://aimlab.cs.uoregon.edu/). Then I will explain the motivation to bring data-driven approaches, such as data mining, data modeling, and data mapping, to biomedical ontology research by addressing three challenges: heterogeneity, reusability, and scalability. Previous biomedical ontology research focuses on knowledge-driven approaches for ontology design and ontology-based reasoning. However, the application of biomedical ontologies will depend on the "fitness" of those ontologies to domain specific data. I will use the NIH-funded Neural ElectroMagnetic Ontologies (NEMO) project as a case study to illustrate the ideas.
