MetaMap Lite in Excel: Biomedical Named-Entity Recognition for Non-Technical Users.

Journal: Studies in health technology and informatics
Published Date: Jan 1, 2017

Abstract

We developed an easy-to-use tool for non-technical biomedical researchers to conduct Named-Entity Recognition (NER) on biomedical text, in a familiar spreadsheet environment. The system is a simple, offline, easy to install, end-user front-end to the new MetaMap Lite. Early adopters found it to be a quick starting-point to incorporate NER in their investigations.
