Symptom recognition issue

چکیده
This work focuses on signs and symptoms recognition in biomedical texts abstracts. First, this specific task is described from a linguistic point of view. Then a methodology combining pattern mining and language processing is proposed. In the absence of an authoritative annotated corpus, our approach has the advantage of being weakly-supervised. Preliminary experimental results are discussed and reveal promising avenues.

A preliminary work on symptom name recognition from free-text clinical records (FCRs) of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is depicted in this paper. This problem is viewed as labeling each character in FCRs of TCM with a pre-defined tag (“B-SYC”, “I-SYC” or “OSYC”) to indicate the character’s role (a beginning, inside or outside part of a symptom name). The task is handled by Conditional Rand...
