Medical professionals are confronted with a flood of big data most of it containing unstructured information. Such unstructured information is the subset of information, where the information itself describes parts of what constitutes as significant within it, or in other words - structure and information are not completely separable. The best example for such unstructured information is text. For many years, text mining has been an essential area of medical informatics. Although text can easily be created by medical professionals, the support of automatic analyses for knowledge discovery is extremely difficult. We follow the definition that knowledge consists of a set of hypotheses, and knowledge discovery is the process of finding or generating new hypotheses by medical professionals with the aim of getting insight into the data. In this paper we present some lessons learned of ICA for dermatological knowledge discovery, for the first time. We follow the HCI-KDD approach, i.e. with the human expert in the loop matching the best of two worlds: human intelligence with computational intelligence.
