Swanson's implicit discoveries analyzed either by counting the number of shared relationships or by the MMIM score. Frequency (Freq) is the number of co-mentions the two objects share in the literature. Notice that the type of relationship that ranks higher with the MMIM tends to be more specific and informative, while the terms that share the most relationships tend to be more general and vague.
