Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a novel method to extract and assess influence relations between concepts, based on a variation of the Kuramoto Model. The initial evaluation focusing on an unstructured dataset provided by the abstracts and articles freely available from PubMed [7], shows the potential of our approach, as well as suggesting its applicability to a wide selection of multidisciplinary topics.
