  text: 'The contacts a health care provider (HCP), like a physician, has to other
    HCPs is perceived as a quality characteristic by patients. So far, only the German
    physician rating website jameda.de gives information about the interconnectedness
    of HCPs in business networks. However, this network has to be maintained manually
    and is thus incomplete. We therefore developed a system for uncovering latent
    connectivity of HCPs in online reviews to provide users with more valuable information
    about their HCPs. The overall goal of this approach is to extend already existing
    business networks of HCPs by integrating connections that are newly discovered
    by our system. Our most recent evaluation results are promising: 70.8 % of the
    connections extracted from the reviews texts were correctly identified and in
    total 3,788 relations were recognized that have not been displayed in jameda.de’s
    network before.'
