Unlocking Knowledge Extraction with KBase

I didn’t know KBase could be used for knowledge extraction from literature! Tonight I watched the session by Shinjae Yoo from Brookhaven National Laboratory titled “Knowledge extraction from literature.” This was part of the KBase Science Session: Data integration to support (or refute) predictions I started watching yesterday. The primary focus of this study was […]
