BioMed Search

BioMed Search has been created by Alex Ksikes, a PhD student in University of Cambridge. The goal of BioMed search is to organize figures, images or schema found in biomedical articles. Over 1 Million images have been indexed and more is on its way. BioMed Seach indexes image captions along with the citations to these images.
