I've been doing some stuff around Literature Based Discovery[1] lately. See: https://github.com/fogbeam/Valmont-F

Update for anybody who's interested in this... I just pushed a Docker image to Docker Hub that you can use to run an instance of the application, without needing to fiddle with installing Java/Grails and compiling yourself, etc.

Wow that's interesting.

Thanks for bringing this concept to my attention.

During my master's three years ago I did something similar to literature based discovery, but manually and obviously in a much limited scale.

Glad to know that there are people working to systematize the process and automate it.

Hmmm... well, this is all open source, and I'd be glad to collaborate if you would like to get involved at all. :-)

Glad to know there are other people who are interested in this kind of thing at all!

This is interesting. Do I have to compile it myself or do you make it available somewhere?

You'd have to run it locally right now. I'll try to get a demo server set up somewhere soon. Also a top TODO is to create a Docker image and push it to Docker Hub so anybody using Docker can spin it up very quickly.
