Abstract
Chinese medicine research documents a significant amount of knowledge. However, compared to Western medicine, there are limited studies that take advantage of and summarize findings based on the Chinese medicine literature. This paper builds a literature analysis system based on information extraction and visualization technologies, which allow users to select and analyze a subset of Chinese medicine literature. The system provides complex search functionalities and makes a set of analyses (summary statistics on medicine/disease/acupuncture points, medicine co-occurrence analysis, and acupuncture point analysis) available to support Chinese medicine scholars and alleviate their workload. The system may facilitate Chinese medicine research and theorization.
