We report experiments that use lexical statistics, such as word frequency counts, to discover hidden connections in the medical literature. Hidden connections are those that are unlikely to be found by examination of bibliographic citations or the use of standard indexing methods and yet establish a relationship between topics that might profitably be explored by scientific research. Our experi...

The shift from paper to electronic documents has caused the curation of information sources in large electronic databases to become more generalized. In the biomedical domain, continuing efforts aim at refining indexing tools to assist with the update and maintenance of databases such as MEDLINE. In this paper, we evaluate two statistical methods of producing MeSH indexing recommendations for t...
