1. GOAL: The purpose of this activity and accompanying survey is to collect feedback about this system. The responses will be aggregated and used to inform the developers on improvements based on community needs. The data may be used in a publication reporting on this system.
2. TIMELINE AND COMMITMENT: The system review period is open from September 1 to September 30, 2021. During this period, you can explore this system at different times, with different examples. We estimate that completion of the minimal set of activities (reviewing the documentation, going over tutorial and own examples) would take 1-2 hours (but may vary with system and your own interest).
However, we do request that the survey is completed in one take (it may take approximately 30 min) after you have gone through the tutorial and your own examples.
Survey deadline: September 30.
3. WHAT IS THIS SYSTEM?
There are over 1.2 million publications appearing in biomedicine per year, or around 3,200 each day, more than any
human scientist or clinician could keep track of. With the emergence of COVID-19 in early 2020, publications about
the disease and the SARS-CoV-2 virus causing it have exploded and continue to be published at a rate of more than
300 new papers each day. The Ecosystem of Machine-maintained Models with Automated
Analysis (emmaa.indra.bio) is a framework for keeping a set of disease-related models up to date using the latest
results from the scientific literature, and applied it to modeling COVID-19 mechanisms. The key challenge EMMAA system
aims to tackle is automatically monitoring and interpreting publications relevant for COVID-19, and assembling a
causal model of the information extracted from them to turn published knowledge into an actionable form, opening it
up for data analysis and user interaction.
