An ontology-driven system for detecting global health events
نویسندگان
چکیده
Text mining for global health surveillance is an emerging technology that is gaining increased attention from public health organisations and governments. The lack of multilingual resources such as WordNets specifically targeted at this task have so far been a major bottleneck. This paper reports on a major upgrade to the BioCaster Web monitoring system and its freely available multilingual ontology; improving its original design and extending its coverage of diseases from 70 to 336 in 12 languages.

متن کاملA novel method for detecting structural damage based on data-driven and similarity-based techniques under environmental and operational changes
The applications of time series modeling and statistical similarity methods to structural health monitoring (SHM) provide promising and capable approaches to structural damage detection. The main aim of this article is to propose an efficient univariate similarity method named as Kullback similarity (KS) for identifying the location of damage and estimating the level of damage severity. An impr...
