Integrating Natural Language Processing and Biomedical Domain Knowledge for Increased Information Retrieval Effectiveness
نویسنده
چکیده
Underspecified semantic structures serve as the basis for indexing terms for information retrieval. Biomedical semantic types from the National Library of Medicine’s Unified Medical Language System® constrain coordinate structures to increase the accuracy of the semantic representation. Preliminary experiments conducted on 3,000 MEDLINE titles and abstracts indicate that the approach contributes to increased precision.

The interaction of domain knowledge and linguistic structure in natural language processing: interpreting hypernymic propositions in biomedical text
Interpretation of semantic propositions in free-text documents such as MEDLINE citations would provide valuable support for biomedical applications, and several approaches to semantic interpretation are being pursued in the biomedical informatics community. In this paper, we describe a methodology for interpreting linguistic structures that encode hypernymic propositions, in which a more specif...
متن کاملBioinQA: Addressing bottlenecks of Biomedical Domain through Biomedical Question Answering System
Recent advances in the realm of biomedicine and genetics in the post genomics era have resulted in an explosion in the amount of biomedical literature available. Large textbanks comprising of thousands of full-text biology papers are rapidly becoming available. Due to gigantic volumes of information available and lack of efficient and domain specific information retrieval tools, it has become e...
متن کاملBiomedical Information Retrieval
Retrieving relevant information from biomedical text data is a new challenging area of research. Thousands of articles are being added into biomedical literature each year and this large collection of publications offer an excellent opportunity for discovering hidden biomedical knowledge by applying information retrieval (IR) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies. Biomedical Text p...
متن کاملNatural Language Processing methods and systems for biomedical ontology learning
While the biomedical informatics community widely acknowledges the utility of domain ontologies, there remain many barriers to their effective use. One important requirement of domain ontologies is that they must achieve a high degree of coverage of the domain concepts and concept relationships. However, the development of these ontologies is typically a manual, time-consuming, and often error-...
متن کاملEffective mapping of biomedical text to the UMLS Metathesaurus: the MetaMap program
The UMLS Metathesaurus, the largest thesaurus in the biomedical domain, provides a representation of biomedical knowledge consisting of concepts classified by semantic type and both hierarchical and non-hierarchical relationships among the concepts. This knowledge has proved useful for many applications including decision support systems, management of patient records, information retrieval (IR...
