KNOWLEDGE by ASMITA RAHMAN (Under the Direction of Ismailcem Budak Arpinar) ABSTRACT In the fast growing world of information, the amount of medical knowledge is growing at an exponential level. It has now become a very difficult task for a regular person to keep up with all the new discoveries and updates in this domain. This thesis describes an approach to semantically retrieve and distribute the medical data/information to the respective health records (people). This system comprises of sample health records and health publications from PubMed. The system performs a semantic matchmaking algorithm to find the relevant publications in PubMed for any particular health record (profile) using BioPortal Ontologies and UMLS. It then assigns a rank based on a semantic ranking algorithm and displays the results to the user. Our system empowers the users and enables them to discover hidden but relevant information. The result of the evaluation clearly proves that our system retrieves all the relevant information better than syntactic searches.

A Novel Approach for Intelligent Information Retrieval in Semantic Web Using Ontology
In most of the existing information retrieval systems are follows the keyword searching methods which are inefficient in various aspects. We have proposed a novel approach that provides intelligent information retrieval in a semantic web based ontology. Using the concept of ontology the relevant information is indexed and is processed in such a way to provide the advantage of abundant semantics...
متن کاملImage Classification via Sparse Representation and Subspace Alignment
Image representation is a crucial problem in image processing where there exist many low-level representations of image, i.e., SIFT, HOG and so on. But there is a missing link across low-level and high-level semantic representations. In fact, traditional machine learning approaches, e.g., non-negative matrix factorization, sparse representation and principle component analysis are employed to d...

Extended Abstract Content Based Medical Image Retrieval (CBMIR) has reached a very challenging threshold, related to the gap between low-level medical image features and the semantic highly specialized medical information and knowledge; to the important context-dependence of the query and navigation; and the wide distribution of the medical data and knowledge. Answers to questions concerning se...
متن کاملSelf-Growing RBF Neural Network Approach for Semantic Image Retrieval
Traditional methods of content-based image retrieval deal with the retrieval of images according to the similarity between them and the sample image in some low-level feature space such as color, shape and structure. But the relevant images satisfying user information need tend to have different distribution in the low-level feature space. In this case, the query image needs to be represented a...
متن کاملIntegrating Semantic Term Relations into Information Retrieval Systems Based on Language Models
Most information retrieval systems rely on the strict equality of terms between document and query in order to retrieve relevant documents to a given query. The term mismatch problem appears when users and documents’ authors use different terms to express the same meaning. Statistical translation models are proposed as an effective way to adapt language models in order to mitigate term mismatch...
