Abstract

This paper proposes an automated knowledge synthesis and discovery framework to analyze published literature to identify and represent underlying mechanistic associations that aggravate chronic conditions due to COVID-19. We present a literature-based discovery approach that integrates text mining, knowledge graphs and ontologies to discover semantic associations between COVID-19 and chronic disease concepts that were represented as a complex disease knowledge network that can be queried to extract plausible mechanisms by which COVID-19 may be exacerbated by underlying chronic conditions.
