Normalizing clinical terms using learned edit distance patterns
BACKGROUND Variations of clinical terms are very commonly encountered in clinical texts. Normalization methods that use similarity measures or hand-coded approximation rules for matching clinical terms to standard terminologies have limited accuracy and coverage. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this paper, a novel method is presented that automatically learns patterns of variations of clinical terms...
متن کاملUWM: Disorder Mention Extraction from Clinical Text Using CRFs and Normalization Using Learned Edit Distance Patterns
This paper describes Team UWM’s system for the Task 7 of SemEval 2014 that does disorder mention extraction and normalization from clinical text. For the disorder mention extraction (Task A), the system was trained using Conditional Random Fields with features based on words, their POS tags and semantic types, as well as features based on MetaMap matches. For the disorder mention normalization ...
متن کاملUsing Learned Conditional Distributions as Edit Distance
In order to achieve pattern recognition tasks, we aim at learning an unbiased stochastic edit distance, in the form of a finite-state transducer, from a corpus of (input,output) pairs of strings. Contrary to the state of the art methods, we learn a transducer independently on the marginal probability distribution of the input strings. Such an unbiased way to proceed requires to optimize the par...
متن کاملTask-specific minimum Bayes-risk decoding using learned edit distance
This paper extends the minimum Bayes-risk framework to incorporate a loss function specific to the task and the ASR system. The errors are modeled as a noisy channel and the parameters are learned from the data. The resulting loss function is used in the risk criterion for decoding. Experiments on a large vocabulary conversational speech recognition system demonstrate significant gains of about...
متن کاملTowards Normalizing the Edit Distance Using a Genetic Algorithms-Based Scheme
The normalized edit distance is one of the distances derived from the edit distance. It is useful in some applications because it takes into account the lengths of the two strings compared. The normalized edit distance is not defined in terms of edit operations but rather in terms of the edit path. In this paper we propose a new derivative of the edit distance that also takes into consideration...
