Working Notes for TopSig at ShARe/CLEF eHealth 2013
نویسندگان
چکیده
We used our TopSig open-source indexing and retrieval tool to produce runs for the ShARe/CLEF eHealth 2013 track. TopSig was used to produce runs using the query fields and provided discharge summaries, where appropriate. Although the improvement was not great TopSig was able to gain some benefit from utilising the discharge summaries, although the software needed to be modified to support this. This was part of a larger experiment involving determining the applicability and limits to signature-based approaches.

NCBI at 2013 ShARe/CLEF eHealth Shared Task: Disorder Normalization in Clinical Notes with Dnorm
We describe an application of DNorm – a mathematically principled and high performing methodology for disease recognition and normalization, even in the presence of term variation – to clinical notes. DNorm consists of a text processing pipeline, including the BANNER named entity recognizer to locate diseases in the text, and a novel machine learning approach based on pairwise learning to rank ...
متن کاملUsing Relations for Identification and Normalization of Disorders: Team CLEAR in the ShARe/CLEF 2013 eHealth Evaluation Lab
This paper describes a system for span detection and normalization of disorder mentions in clinical notes as defined in Tasks 1a and 1b of the 2013 ShARe/CLEF eHealth Evaluation Lab [1]. We take a supervised learning, chunking-based approach to identifying disorder spans. In particular, our system introduces a method for identifying the spans of disjoint and overlapping disorder mentions using ...

This paper describes the THCIB systems that used in the ShARe/CLEF eHealth Lab 2013 task 2. We built a baseline system using open source software, and improve the performance by adding dictionaries. The dictionary is built from training set and web resource using the existing technologies. The experimental results show that adding dictionary of acronym/abbreviation can improve the performance s...
متن کاملRecognizing and Encoding Discorder Concepts in Clinical Text using Machine Learning and Vector Space Model
The ShARe/CLEF eHealth Evaluation Lab (SHEL) organized a challenge on natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) in the medical domain in 2013. The first task of the 2013 ShARe/CLEF challenge was to extract disorder mention spans and their associated UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) concept unique identifiers (CUIs). We participated in Task 1 and developed a clinical...
متن کاملTask 1: ShARe/CLEF eHealth Evaluation Lab 2013
This report outlines the Task 1 of the ShARe/CLEF eHealth evaluation lab pilot. This task focused on identification (1a) and normalization (1b) of diseases and disorders in clinical reports. It used annotations from the ShARe corpus. A total of 22 teams competed in Task 1a and 17 of them also participated Task 1b. The best systems had an F1 score of 0.75 (0.80 Precision, 0.71 Recall) in Task 1a...
