Abstract

Natural language processing (NLP) enables large-scale extraction of expert-informed interpretations of clinical and experimental observations. We leverage this technology to survey and represent as a cause-and-effect network our current understanding of biological mechanisms linking complex military exposures to accelerated biological aging, which includes the exacerbating impact of cumulative military exposures.
