BIOSSES: a semantic sentence similarity estimation system for the biomedical domain
Motivation The amount of information available in textual format is rapidly increasing in the biomedical domain. Therefore, natural language processing (NLP) applications are becoming increasingly important to facilitate the retrieval and analysis of these data. Computing the semantic similarity between sentences is an important component in many NLP tasks including text retrieval and summariza...
متن کاملMeasures of semantic similarity and relatedness in the biomedical domain
Measures of semantic similarity between concepts are widely used in Natural Language Processing. In this article, we show how six existing domain-independent measures can be adapted to the biomedical domain. These measures were originally based on WordNet, an English lexical database of concepts and relations. In this research, we adapt these measures to the SNOMED-CT ontology of medical concep...
متن کاملWeb-Based Semantic Similarity: An Evaluation in the Biomedical Domain
Computation of semantic similarity between concepts is a very common problem in many language related tasks and knowledge domains. In the biomedical field, several approaches have been developed to deal with this issue by exploiting the structured knowledge available in domain ontologies (such as SNOMED-CT or MeSH) and specific, closed and reliable corpora (such as clinical data). However, in r...
متن کاملEnabling semantic similarity estimation across multiple ontologies: An evaluation in the biomedical domain
The estimation of the semantic similarity between terms provides a valuable tool to enable the understanding of textual resources. Many semantic similarity computation paradigms have been proposed both as general-purpose solutions or framed in concrete fields such as biomedicine. In particular, ontology-based approaches have been very successful due to their efficiency, scalability, lack of con...
متن کاملA framework for unifying ontology-based semantic similarity measures: A study in the biomedical domain
Ontologies are widely adopted in the biomedical domain to characterize various resources (e.g. diseases, drugs, scientific publications) with non-ambiguous meanings. By exploiting the structured knowledge that ontologies provide, a plethora of ad hoc and domain-specific semantic similarity measures have been defined over the last years. Nevertheless, some critical questions remain: which measur...
