Abstract:
Annotations of clinical trials with controlled vocabularies of drugs and diseases, encode scientific knowledge that can be mined to discover relationships between scientific concepts. We present PAnG (Patterns in Annotation Graphs), a tool that relies on dense subgraphs, graph summarization and taxonomic distance metrics, computed using the NCI Thesaurus, to identify patterns.
