Text similarity: an alternative way to search MEDLINE
MOTIVATION The most widely used literature search techniques, such as those offered by NCBI's PubMed system, require significant effort on the part of the searcher, and inexperienced searchers do not use these systems as effectively as experienced users. Improved literature search engines can save researchers time and effort by making it easier to locate the most important and relevant literatu...
متن کاملStrongly transitive fuzzy relations: An alternative way to describe similarity
The notion of a transitive closure of a fuzzy relation is very useful for clustering in pattern recognition, for fuzzy databases, etc. It is based on translating the standard definition of transitivity and transitive closure into fuzzy terms. This definition works fine, but to some extent it does not fully capture our understanding of transitivity. The reason is that this definition is based on...
متن کاملInteractive and fuzzy search: a dynamic way to explore MEDLINE
MOTIVATION The MEDLINE database, consisting of over 19 million publication records, is the primary source of information for biomedicine and health questions. Although the database itself has been growing rapidly, the search paradigm of MEDLINE has remained largely unchanged. RESULTS Here, we propose a new system for exploring the entire MEDLINE collection, represented by two unique features:...
متن کاملFinding Themes in Medline Documents: Probabilistic Similarity Search
Large on-line document databases, such as Medline, pose a major challenge of retrieving the few documents most relevant to the user’s needs, while minimizing the return rate of nonrelevant documents. Retrieval of documents similar to a userprovided example document is a promising query paradigm towards meeting this goal. We present a new theme-based probabilistic approach for finding documents ...
متن کاملAn active visual search interface for Medline.
Searching the Medline database is almost a daily necessity for many biomedical researchers. However, available Medline search solutions are mainly designed for the quick retrieval of a small set of most relevant documents. Because of this search model, they are not suitable for the large-scale exploration of literature and the underlying biomedical conceptual relationships, which are common tas...
