Determining the Syntactic Structure of Medical Terms in Clinical Notes

چکیده
This paper demonstrates a method for determining the syntactic structure of medical terms. We use a model-fitting method based on the Log Likelihood Ratio to classify three-word medical terms as right or left-branching. We validate this method by computing the agreement between the classification produced by the method and manually annotated classifications. The results show an agreement of 75% 83%. This method may be used effectively to enable a wide range of applications that depend on the semantic interpretation of medical terms including automatic mapping of terms to standardized vocabularies and induction of terminologies from unstructured medical text.
