Abstract: | We present the metrics for assessing overall functional coherence of a group of proteins based on associated biomedical literature. A probabilistic topic model is applied to extract biologic concepts from a corpus of protein-related biomedical literature. Bipartite protein semantic networks are constructed, so that the functional coherence of a protein group can be evaluated with metrics that measure the closeness and strength of connectivity of the proteins in the network. |
