Mining and Mapping Research Findings to Promote Knowledge Discovery

The goal of the Telemakus Project is to enhance the knowledge discovery process by developing retrieval, visual and interaction tools to mine and map research findings from the research literature.

The objective of the research is to create, test and validate an infrastructure to permit the automation of the creation and maintenance of a searchable database that generates knowledge maps via query tools and concept mapping algorithms. We will also be applying natural language processing models and information analysis methods to ultimately speed up the scientific discovery process.

Telemakus is part of SAGE KE, the Science of Aging Knowledge Environment, an online resource for researchers in the field of aging. SAGE KE is the third in a series of Knowledge Environments developed by Science and the AAAS. Other Knowledge Environments are the Signal Transduction Knowledge Environment (STKE) and AIDScience.
