Automatic derivation of probabilistic inference rules
A probabilistic inference rule is a general rule that provides bounds on a target probability given constraints on a number of input probabilities. Example: from P (AjB) r infer P (:AjB) 2 [1 r; 1℄. Rules of this kind have been studied extensively as a deduction method for propositional probabilistic logics. Many different rules have been proposed, and their validity proved – often with substan...
متن کاملAn Incremental Approach for MEDLINE MeSH Indexing
As an increasing number of new journal articles being added to the MEDLINE database each year, it becomes imperative to build effective systems that can automatically suggest Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) to reduce effort from human annotators. In this paper, we propose three approaches, one building upon another in an incremental way, to automatic MeSH term suggestion: 1) MetaMap-based label...
متن کاملOn the Identification of Inference Rules for Automatic Metadata Generation
Learning objects metadata (LOM) facilitate search, evaluation, acquisition, and use of learning objects, which may contain any kind of multimedia information, by learners, instructors or automated software processes. As a result, learning objects reuse is promoted and thus, development cost for new ones is reduced. However, manual indexing of learning resources according to metadata standards i...
متن کاملBesides Precision & Recall: Exploring Alternative Approaches to Evaluating an Automatic Indexing Tool for MEDLINE
OBJECTIVE This paper explores alternative approaches for the evaluation of an automatic indexing tool for MEDLINE, complementing the traditional precision and recall method. MATERIALS AND METHODS The performance of MTI, the Medical Text Indexer used at NLM to produce MeSH recommendations for biomedical journal articles is evaluated on a random set of MEDLINE citations. The evaluation examines...
متن کاملSearching for clinical prediction rules in MEDLINE.
OBJECTIVES Clinical prediction rules have been advocated as a possible mechanism to enhance clinical judgment in diagnostic, therapeutic, and prognostic assessment. Despite renewed interest in the their use, inconsistent terminology makes them difficult to index and retrieve by computerized search systems. No validated approaches to locating clinical prediction rules appear in the literature. T...
