IIITH at BioASQ Challenge 2015 Task 3a: Extreme Classification of PubMed Articles using MeSH Labels
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automating the process of indexing journal abstracts has been a topic of research for several years. Biomedical Semantic Indexing aims to assign correct MeSH terms to the PubMed documents. In this paper we report our participation in the Task 3a of BioASQ challenge 2015. The participating teams were provided with PubMed articles and asked to return relevant MeSH terms. We tried three different approaches: Nearest Neighbours, IDF-Ratio based indexing and multi-label classification. The official challenge results demonstrate that we consistently performed better than the baseline approaches for Task 3a.

In this paper, we describe our participation in the 2015 BioASQ challenge on Bio-Medical Question Answering. For Question Answering task (Task 3b), teams were provided with natural language questions and asked to retrieve responses from PubMed corpus in the form of documents, snippets, concepts and RDF triplets (Phase A) and direct answers (Phase B). For Phase A, we took the support of PubMed s...

In this paper we describe our statistical approach for the 2013 BioASQ biomedical semantic indexing task where participating teams are provided with PubMed articles and asked to return relevant MeSH terms. Our overall approach builds on our previous learning-to-rank research with features extracted from PubMed articles and MeSH terms collected from neighbor documents. More specifically, candida...

BACKGROUND In this paper we present the approach that we employed to deal with large scale multi-label semantic indexing of biomedical papers. This work was mainly implemented within the context of the BioASQ challenge (2013-2017), a challenge concerned with biomedical semantic indexing and question answering. METHODS Our main contribution is a MUlti-Label Ensemble method (MULE) that incorpor...

In this paper we report our participation in the 2014 BioASQ challenge tasks on biomedical semantic indexing and question answering. For the biomedical semantic indexing task (Task 2a) where participating teams are provided with PubMed articles and asked to return relevant MeSH terms, we built on our previous learning-to-rank framework with a special focus on systematically incorporating result...
متن کاملBiomedical Semantic Indexing using Dense Word Vectors in BioASQ
Background: Biomedical curators are often required to semantically index large numbers of biomedical articles, using hierarchically related labels (e.g., MeSH headings). Large scale hierarchical classification, a branch of machine learning, can facilitate this procedure, but the resulting automatic classifiers are often inefficient because of the very large dimensionality of the dominant bag-of...
