BIRN at the OHBM meeting and Hackathon in Seattle June 16-20
from Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)
(2013/6/5 8:41)
|
BIRN representatives will be attending the Organization for Human Brain Mapping meeting in Seattle, Washington June 16-20, 2013. They will be making both scientific presentations and participating in the tutorial sessions before the meeting. In addition, BIRN is supporting the HBM Hackathon and will make its tools available to Hackathon participants. The Hackathon is an analysis and resource-building competition that will strengthen the connection between open neuroscience and cloud computing. The Hackathon challenges include a) the creation of connections between imaging/genetic datasets and the Allen Brain Atlas and b) the large-scale integration of resting state data with other Hackathon-accessible data sets. A third challenge will be announced at the conference and participants are also encouraged to create their own challenge. Amazon Web Services will provide support as well as $100 in cloud computing credits. Please visit the BIRN booth (#116) while at the conferen ...

GlobusWorld coming up?April 16-18 in Chicago
from Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)
(2013/3/28 6:52)
|
Globus Online is the powerful technology underlying important BIRN capabilities such as data movement and security. Get an up close look at this year’s GlobusWORLD conference.
If you are spending more time than you’d like tending to your data, or if you would like to be doing more but can’t get your data where it needs to be (or to the people who need it), GlobusWORLD (Chicago, April 16-18) is the place to be. This year’s conference focuses on “moving, syncing, and sharing” research data at scale. Be the first to see our new service for data sharing – no cloud storage required! Get inspired by how other institutions are using Globus. See www.globusworld.org for information and registration.

BIRN PDF extraction paper?highly accessed?on Source Code for Biology&Medicine site
from Biomedical Informatics Research Network (BIRN)
(2013/2/15 4:00)
|
Layout-aware text extraction from full-text PDF of scientific articles , a paper published in Source Code for Biology & Medicine by senior author and BIRN member, Gully Burns, has been downloaded over 4,500 times since August 2012. The paper describes an open source software tool developed by Burns and other ISI/USC researchers that extracts text from one or more PDFs based on user-specified rules that take into account issues such as layout, extraneous elements and formatting to produce results more accurate than standard available tools.
