Abstract
Elucidation of protein interaction networks (PINs) is essential for understanding disease-related biological processes and mechanisms. While significant information regarding PINs is available in the literature as free-text, such information is difficult to retrieve and synthesize. The following chapter describes machine learning techniques and web-based tools for literature-based extraction of protein interactions and their networks. Two case studies are provided to illustrate the efficient use of automated text-mining based applications in biomedical research using the tools PIMiner (http://www.biotextminer.com/PPI/index.html) and CPNM (http://www.biotextminer.com/CPNM/).
