Research Paper: Semantic Classification of Biomedical Concepts Using Distributional Similarity
OBJECTIVE To develop an automated, high-throughput, and reproducible method for reclassifying and validating ontological concepts for natural language processing applications. DESIGN We developed a distributional similarity approach to classify the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) concepts. Classification models were built for seven broad biomedically relevant semantic classes created b...
متن کاملVerb Classification using Distributional Similarity in Syntactic and Semantic Structures
In this paper, we propose innovative representations for automatic classification of verbs according to mainstream linguistic theories, namely VerbNet and FrameNet. First, syntactic and semantic structures capturing essential lexical and syntactic properties of verbs are defined. Then, we design advanced similarity functions between such structures, i.e., semantic tree kernel functions, for exp...
متن کاملUsing Distributional Similarity to Organise BioMedical Terminology
We investigate an application of distributional similarity techniques to the problem of structural organisation of biomedical terminology. Our application domain is the relatively small GENIA corpus. Using terms that have been accurately marked-up by hand within the corpus, we consider the problem of automatically determining semantic proximity. Terminological units are defined for our purposes...
متن کاملFrom distributional to semantic similarity
Lexical-semantic resources, including thesauri and WORDNET, have been successfully incorporated into a wide range of applications in Natural Language Processing. However they are very difficult and expensive to create and maintain, and their usefulness has been severely hampered by their limited coverage, bias and inconsistency. Automated and semi-automated methods for developing such resources...
متن کاملMeasuring Semantic Distance using Distributional Profiles of Concepts
Automatic measures of semantic distance can be classified into two kinds: (1) those, such as WordNet, that rely on the structure of manually created lexical resources and (2) those that rely only on co-occurrence statistics from large corpora. Each kind has inherent strengths and limitations. Here we present a hybrid approach that combines corpus statistics with the structure of a Roget-like th...
