چکیده
The book begins with a declaration that “the intended audience of the book is natural language processing specialists who want to move into the biomedical domain.” It is indeed a great introductory textbook to the field of biomedical natural language processing (NLP), particularly for NLP specialists. Browsing the contents, many NLP specialists will find the titles of chapters familiar: “Named Entity Recognition,” “Relation Extraction,” and so on. Those familiar topics are reformulated in the context of biomedical informatics, with rich biomedical examples and a good amount of explanation.

Natural language processing (NLP) systems have been developed to provide access to the tremendous body of data and knowledge that is available in the biomedical domain in the form of natural language text. These NLP systems are valuable because they can encode and amass the information in the text so that it can be used by other automated processes to improve patient care and our understanding ...
متن کاملLearning Distributed Word Representations and Applications in Biomedial Natural Language Processing
A common challenge for biomedical natural language processing (BioNLP) is data sparsity. Distributed word representation approaches have been developed recently that represent word by learning from a large unlabeled data, such approaches have shown to overcome the data sparsity and improve NLP tasks. In this tutorial, we will introduce various word representation approaches, including the tradi...
متن کاملUMLS content views appropriate for NLP processing of the biomedical literature vs. clinical text
Identification of medical terms in free text is a first step in such Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks as automatic indexing of biomedical literature and extraction of patients' problem lists from the text of clinical notes. Many tools developed to perform these tasks use biomedical knowledge encoded in the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus. We continue our exploration ...
