Extraction of Disease-Treatment Semantic Relations from Biomedical Sentences
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes our study on identifying semantic relations that exist between diseases and treatments in biomedical sentences. We focus on three semantic relations: Cure, Prevent, and Side Effect. The contributions of this paper consists in the fact that better results are obtained compared to previous studies and the fact that our research settings allow the integration of biomedical and medical knowledge. We obtain 98.55% F-measure for the Cure relation, 100% F-measure for the Prevent relation, and 88.89% F-measure for the Side Effect relation.

Assessing the Need of Discourse-Level Analysis in Identifying Evidence of Drug-Disease Relations in Scientific Literature
Relation extraction typically involves the extraction of relations between two or more entities occurring within a single or multiple sentences. In this study, we investigated the significance of extracting information from multiple sentences specifically in the context of drug-disease relation discovery. We used multiple resources such as Semantic Medline, a literature based resource, and Medl...
متن کاملEnhancing Biomedical Text Summarization Using Semantic Relation Extraction
Automatic text summarization for a biomedical concept can help researchers to get the key points of a certain topic from large amount of biomedical literature efficiently. In this paper, we present a method for generating text summary for a given biomedical concept, e.g., H1N1 disease, from multiple documents based on semantic relation extraction. Our approach includes three stages: 1) We extra...
متن کاملExtraction of Drug-Drug Interaction from Literature through Detecting Linguistic-based Negation and Clause Dependency
Extracting biomedical relations such as drug-drug interaction (DDI) from text is an important task in biomedical NLP. Due to the large number of complex sentences in biomedical literature, researchers have employed some sentence simplification techniques to improve the performance of the relation extraction methods. However, due to difficulty of the task, there is no noteworthy improvement in t...

متن کاملSemi-Supervised Convolution Graph Kernels for Relation Extraction
Extracting semantic relations between entities is an important step towards automatic text understanding. In this paper, we propose a novel Semi-supervised Convolution Graph Kernel (SCGK) method for semantic Relation Extraction (RE) from natural English text. By encoding sentences as dependency graphs of words, SCGK computes kernels (similarities) between sentences using a convolution strategy,...
