Automatic Biomedical Term Polysemy Detection

چکیده
Polysemy is the capacity for a word to have multiple meanings. Polysemy detection is a first step for Word Sense Induction (WSI), which allows to find different meanings for a term. The polysemy detection is also important for information extraction (IE) systems. In addition, the polysemy detection is important for building/enriching terminologies and ontologies. In this paper, we present a novel approach to detect if a biomedical term is polysemic, with the long term goal of enriching biomedical ontologies. This approach is based on the extraction of new features. In this context we propose to extract features following two manners: (i) extracted directly from the text dataset, and (ii) from an induced graph. Our method obtains an Accuracy and F-Measure of 0.978.

متن کاملBiomedical literature classification using encyclopedic knowledge: a Wikipedia-based bag-of-concepts approach
Automatic classification of text documents into a set of categories has a lot of applications. Among those applications, the automatic classification of biomedical literature stands out as an important application for automatic document classification strategies. Biomedical staff and researchers have to deal with a lot of literature in their daily activities, so it would be useful a system that...
متن کاملAutomatic ambiguity detection
Most work on sense disambiguation presumes that one knows beforehand — e.g. from a thesaurus — a set of polysemous terms. But published lists invariably give only partial coverage. For example, the English word tan has several obvious senses, but one may overlook the abbreviation for tangent. In this paper, we present an algorithm for identifying interesting polysemous terms and measuring their...

Integration of knowledge described in a huge number of biomedical papers is a very important subject in the genome informatics area [1, 2]. Therefore, we need an intelligent information extracting system to save time. In order to extract information or knowledge from texts and utilize them, it is necessary to use various kinds of dictionaries, which are helpful in eliminating obscurities contai...
