DISNET is a project that aims the creation of diseases networks based on the Human Symptom Disease Network (HSDN) concept. The project is focused on extracting the information from textual sources (scientific literature, public sources, ...) and analyze the network, the interaction between the elements, and the relationships captured. The talk will focus on explaining how DISNET project aims to contribute to the scientific knowledge and the results obtained so far.
