A Table Based Inference Engine for Natural Language Processing
This paper, the third in a series [Davies 2005a, 2005b], addresses the problem of Natural Language Inference with a strong emphasis on Software Engineering and, specifically, table based techniques and application of the Link Matrix data structure. We look primarily at the resolution or verification process and issues related to flexibility, efficiency and performance in large Knowledgebases. T...
متن کاملClassification of MEDLINE Abstracts
This paper provides the preliminary result in our experiments to automatically assign MeSH terms to MEDLINE abstracts. Every year about 100,000 documents are added to MEDLINE, index terms are assigned by hand to each document from a controlled vocabulary called MeSH. This is necessarily time consuming and may lead to inconsistent indexing due to the large size of MeSH. Our purpose is to explore...
متن کاملA Logical Language for Natural Language Processing
We present a formal description of a logical language that is based on a propositional semantic network. Variables in this language are not atomic and have potentially complex structure. We start from the individual components of a semantic network system, atomic nodes and relations that connect nodes, and provide a complete speci cation for the structure of nodes and a subsumption procedure be...
متن کاملTowards a systematic structuring of MEDLINE abstracts
The bibliographical data are growing and their access becomes more difficult. A solution consists into providing structured abstracts in which their design is indicated explicitly. Our objective is to assign automatically the abstract sentences to relevant sections. We exploit machine learning algorithms and different sets of features (position of sentences, their forms and lemmas). The obtaine...
متن کاملA Semantically Annotated Corpus from MEDLINE Abstracts
Automatic information extraction is a key technology to help researchers access the information contained in research papers and to extend databases on substances and biological processes. We aim to build information extraction databases [2] from biochemical papers and their abstracts available from the MEDLINE [3] database. To objectively measure the performance of our systems, we built a corp...
