The comparative result of literature search from BEST with various keywords. a is the result of H5N1. Alcohol dependence, Infectious diseases, Influenzas are selected as keywords depending on the relevance to the context. Boxplot of each color shows the distribution of rank of relevant pathways (π ) in pathway list sorted by BEST score returned with each keyword and color marking in the bottom gray boxes is the position of π in pathway list. It shows relevant pathways rank higher when more relevant keyword is given to BEST. b is the result of Th17. Alcohol dependence, TGFB1, IL6 and combination of TGFB1 and IL6 are used as keywords. It shows that combination of multiple relevant keywords can make better performance than using a single keyword
