Medical Synonym Extraction with Concept Space Models

چکیده
In this paper, we present a novel approach for medical synonym extraction. We aim to integrate the term embedding with the medical domain knowledge for healthcare applications. One advantage of our method is that it is very scalable. Experiments on a dataset with more than 1M term pairs show that the proposed approach outperforms the baseline approaches by a large margin.

Synonym Extraction of Medical Terms from Clinical Text Using Combinations of Word Space Models
In information extraction, it is useful to know if two signifiers have the same or very similar semantic content. Maintaining such information in a controlled vocabulary is, however, costly. Here it is demonstrated how synonyms of medical terms can be extracted automatically from a large corpus of clinical text using distributional semantics. By combining Random Indexing and Random Permutation,...

متن کاملA Definition-based Shared-concept Extraction within Groups of Chinese Synonyms: A Study Utilizing the Extended Chinese Synonym Forest
Synonym groups can serve as resourceful linguistic metadata for information extraction and word sense disambiguation. Nevertheless, the reasons two words can be categorized into a particular synonym group need further study, especially when no explanation is available as to why any two words are synonymous. Lexical resources, such as the Chinese Synonym Forest (or Tongyici Cilin) (Mei et al. 19...

متن کاملSynonym extraction and abbreviation expansion with ensembles of semantic spaces
BACKGROUND Terminologies that account for variation in language use by linking synonyms and abbreviations to their corresponding concept are important enablers of high-quality information extraction from medical texts. Due to the use of specialized sub-languages in the medical domain, manual construction of semantic resources that accurately reflect language use is both costly and challenging, ...
