Investigation of Concept-based Proximity Matching - GRIUM@Clinical Decision Support Track 2015 Task 1a
نویسندگان
چکیده
Concepts are often used in Medical Information Retrieval. Previous studies showed that exact concept matching (using either the exact concept expression or concept IDs) is not effective, while using concept expressions for proximity matching is more effective. In our participation in Clinical Decision Support Track 2015 task 1a, we investigated the utilization of proximity matching based on concepts. Our results suggest that this matching strategy can be helpful. In this report, we describe the methods tested as well as their results.
