Patient selection for clinical trials based on concept-based retrieval and result filtering and ranking
نویسنده
چکیده
For our participation at the clinical trials task in the TREC 2017 Precision Medicine track 2017, we investigated retrieving and matching clinical trial documents with patient information based on text and concept annotations of the text, filtering results for demographic information such as gender and age, and re-ranking results based on patient information. Experimental results show a competitive precision at high ranks for our least complex approach.

متن کاملInterval MULTIMOORA method with target values of attributes based on interval distance and preference degree: biomaterials selection
A target-based MADM method covers beneficial and non-beneficial attributes besides target values for some attributes. Such techniques are considered as the comprehensive forms of MADM approaches. Target-based MADM methods can also be used in traditional decision-making problems in which beneficial and non-beneficial attributes only exist. In many practical selection problems, some attributes ha...
