An Integrated Approach to Biomedical Term Identification Systems
2020
Applied Sciences
In order to evaluate our proposal on medical term identification, we present the results obtained by our system using the MANTRA corpus and compare its performance with the Freeling-Med tool. ...
By applying several Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies, we have developed a prototype that offers an easy interface for helping to understand biomedical specialized terminology present in Spanish ...
Evaluation Metrics The primary evaluation metrics consisted of standard measures from the NLP community, namely micro-averaged precision, recall, and balanced F-score, the last one being the official evaluation ...

Identifying important concepts from medical documents
2006
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
In this paper, we present a software tool called keyphrase identification program (KIP) for identifying topical concepts from medical documents. ...
The latter assigns weights to extracted noun phrases for a medical document based on how important they are to that document and how domain specific they are in the medical domain. ...

Using statistical and knowledge-based approaches for literature-based discovery
2006
Journal of Biomedical Informatics
We also evaluate LitLinker's performance by using the information retrieval metrics of precision and recall. ...
However, the current volume of information has become a great barrier for this task and new automated tools are needed to help researchers identify new knowledge that bridges gaps across distinct sections ...
Gordon and Dumais also explored alternative techniques for identifying the linking literature [5] by using latent semantic indexing to extract close terms that occur in overlapping sets of documents. ...

SIFR annotator: ontology-based semantic annotation of French biomedical text and clinical notes
2018
BMC Bioinformatics
The service, developed during the Semantic Indexing of French Biomedical Data Resources (2013-2019) project is included in the SIFR BioPortal, an open platform to host French biomedical ontologies and ...
However, semantic resources are required to design semantic indexes and transform biomedical (text)data into knowledge for better information mining and retrieval. ...

Combining Thesauri-Based Methods for Biomedical Retrieval
2005
Text Retrieval Conference
One method uses blind relevance feedback on MeSH terms, the second uses an index of the MeSH thesaurus for query expansion. ...
We show that, despite the relatively minor improvements in retrieval performance of individually applied methods, a combination works best and is able to deliver significant improvements over the baseline ...
In Section 2 we describe our data processing, indexing, tools and models employed for this year's edition of TREC Genomics. ...

Towards the automation of address identification
2012
Scientometrics
Some tests are done to analyze possible association between both systems (automatic and hand-coding), calculating measures of recall and precision, and some statistical directional and symmetric measures ...
Although these results are quite general, this first overview of the address at the institutional sector level is a good way to develop a second approach for the selection of particular centers. ...
Measures of recall for INSPEC are 99% (1,192 possible address patterns), for CAB 98% (1,307) and for MEDLINE 94% (1,416) with an under-standardization, in this last database, of 4.2%. ...

BEST: Next-Generation Biomedical Entity Search Tool for Knowledge Discovery from Biomedical Literature
2016
PLoS ONE
To complement standard search engines such as PubMed, it is desirable to have an advanced search tool that directly returns relevant biomedical entities such as targets, drugs, and mutations rather than ...
Further, most existing tools cannot process sophisticated queries such as searches for mutations that co-occur with query terms in the literature. ...
