چکیده

Natural Language Processing (NLP) has been active in the medical domain for more than thirty years, with pioneering projects such as the Linguistic String Project. ‘BioNLP’, the application of Natural Language Processing methods to the analysis of the biological literature in the genomics era, has undergone a fast development in little over ten years.1 It rapidly attracted Medical NLP and Computational Linguistics researchers, especially through challenges and evaluation initiatives. We examine here to which extent medical NLP prepared the ground for BioNLP. Conversely, we study the ways BioNLP influenced the practice of medical NLP. 1 Medical NLP: Specificities and Contributions to BioNLP A growing community of researchers applies NLP to the medical domain and develops new methods for that purpose. Medical NLP has seen important breakthroughs, such as routine, machine analysis of clinical reports (MedLEE), but it is probably fair to say that it has had until now only a moderate direct impact on clinical applications. It has been mostly concerned with the clinical domain (clinical notes, etc.), but also with the analysis of the scientific literature (MEDLINE titles and abstracts).

Use of Semantic Similarity and Web Usage Mining to Alleviate the Drawbacks of User-Based Collaborative Filtering Recommender Systems

  One of the most famous methods for recommendation is user-based Collaborative Filtering (CF). This system compares active user’s items rating with historical rating records of other users to find similar users and recommending items which seems interesting to these similar users and have not been rated by the active user. As a way of computing recommendations, the ultimate goal of the user-ba...

OntoPDF: using a text mining pipeline to generate enriched pdf versions of scientific papers

In this poster we present a recent extension of the OntoGene text mining utilities, which enables the generation of annotated pdf versions of the original articles. While a text-based view (in XML or HTML) can allow a more flexible presentation of the results of a text mining pipeline, for some applications, notably in assisted curation, it might be desirable to present the annotations in the c...

Semantic Graph Mining for e-Science

In this paper, we present a methodology, called Semantic Graph Mining, for computer-aided extraction of actionable rules from consolidated semantic graphs of statements. First, generate semantic annotations of a set of heterogeneous knowledge/information resources in terms of domain ontology. Second, merge a semantic graph by means of semantic integration of the annotated resources. Third, disc...
