Search for Clinical Records: RMIT at Medical TREC
نویسندگان
چکیده
We combine several techniques to participate in Medical TREC 2011 and later we decompose our combined methodologies to gain a thorough understanding of the effects of each individual technique. In this paper we focus on Information Extraction and Expansion to find the best setting for an ideal IR system. Results suggest that Information Expansion is a key strategy in finding relevant reports for a medical query.

Using Meda-data to Search for Clinical Records: RMIT at TREC 2012 Medical Track
Clinical records contain International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes summarizing the primary and/or secondary diseases of patients; these codes can be used as evidence to find relevant documents. In this paper we propose a novel approach to locally build a knowledge source from the existing data set to be used for query expansion, exploiting the ICD codes. While this approach does not ...

This report outlines TREC-2008 Relevance Feedback Track experiments done at RMIT University. Relevance feedback in text retrieval systems is a process where a user gives explicit feedback on an initial set of retrieval results returned by a search system. For example, the user might mark some of the items as being relevant, or not relevant, to their current information need. This feedback can b...

This paper describes our submission to the TREC 2011 microblog task. For the experiments, we use our new self-index search engine, NeWT, to support ranked search in the Twitter document corpus. We use a combination of phrase queries and degrading conjunctive Boolean intersection to improve retrieval effectiveness. Keywords-self-index; full-text search, phrases, threshold; intersection
