A New Tool to Identify Key Biomedical Concepts in Text Documents, with Special Application to Curriculum Content
نویسندگان
چکیده
Natural Language Processing techniques (NLP) and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus have been applied to identify and extract medical concepts from a broad range of biomedical text. "Understanding" medical curriculum content represents a difficult challenge for developers. Curricular documents come in many formats: full-text transcriptions; detailed, textual outlines; extracts from slide presentations; and, text that is broken into quasi-arbitrary heading and subheading markers.We describe the evaluation at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine of the KnowledgeMap (KM) system to identify medical concepts in curriculum content.The ultimate goal of the KM project is to provide a set of tools that improve the development and integration of medical curriculum.
