MPLUS: a probabilistic medical language understanding system
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the basic philosophy and implementation of MPLUS (M+), a robust medical text analysis tool that uses a semantic model based on Bayesian Networks (BNs). BNs provide a concise and useful formalism for representing semantic patterns in medical text, and for recognizing and reasoning over those patterns. BNs are noise-tolerant, and facilitate the training of M+.

Speech Understanding and Speech Translation in Various Domains by Maximum A-posteriori Semantic Decoding
This paper describes a domain-limited system for speech understanding as well as for speech translation. An integrated semantic decoder directly converts the preprocessed speech signal into its semantic representation by a maximum a-posteriori classification. With the combination of probabilistic knowledge on acoustic, phonetic, syntactic, and semantic levels, the semantic decoder extracts the ...
متن کاملSymbolic Probabilistic Reasoning for Narratives
We present a framework to represent and reason about narratives that combines logical and probabilistic representations of commonsense knowledge. Unlike most natural language understanding systems which merely extract facts or semantic roles, our system builds probabilistic representations of the temporal sequence of world states and events implied by a narrative. We use probabilistic transitio...

متن کاملUnderstanding Probabilistic Programs
We present two views of probabilistic programs and their relationship. An operational interpretation as well as a weakest precondition semantics are provided for an elementary probabilistic guarded command language. Our study treats important features such as sampling, conditioning, loop divergence, and non-determinism.

Information retrieval can be achieved through computerized processes by generating a list of relevant responses to a query. The document processor, matching function and query analyzer are the main components of an information retrieval system. Document retrieval system is fundamentally based on: Boolean, vector-space, probabilistic, and language models. In this paper, a new methodology for mat...
