Abstract: Data mining, a branch of computer science [1], is the process of extracting patterns from large data sets by combining methods from statistics and artificial intelligence with database management. Data mining is seen as an increasingly important tool by modern business to transform data into business intelligence giving an informational advantage. Biomedical text retrieval refers to text retrieval techniques applied to biomedical resources and literature available of the biomedical and molecular biology domain. The volume of published biomedical research, and therefore the underlying biomedical knowledge base, is expanding at an increasing rate. Biomedical text retrieval is a way to aid researchers in coping with information overload. By discovering predictive relationships between different pieces of extracted data, data-mining algorithms can be used to improve the accuracy of information extraction. However, textual variation due to typos, abbreviations, and other sources can prevent the productive discovery and utilization of hard-matching rules. Recent methods of soft clustering can exploit predictive relationships in textual data. This paper presents a technique for using soft clustering data mining algorithm to increase the accuracy of biomedical text extraction. Experimental results demonstrate that this approach improves text extraction more effectively that hard keyword matching rules.
