This article presents a classifier that leverages Wikipedia knowledge to represent documents as vectors of concepts weights, and analyses its suitability for classifying biomedical documents written in any language when it is trained only with Englis...
Eating disorders are unique in that they inherently have much medical comorbidity both as a part of restricting-type eating disorders and those characterized by purging behaviors. Over the last three decades, remarkable progress has been made in the ...
BACKGROUND: Inherited mutations in glyco-related genes can affect the biosynthesis and degradation of glycans and result in severe genetic diseases and disorders. The Glyco-Disease Genes Database (GDGDB), which provides information about these diseas...
Online medical text is full of references to medical entities (MEs), which are valuable in many applications, including medical knowledge-based (KB) construction, decision support systems, and the treatment of diseases. However, the diverse and ambig...
UNLABELLED: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide. Despite its high incidence and mortality, the likelihood of a cure is low for late-stages of PC. There is an unmet need for more ...
Scientific reproducibility is critical for biomedical research as it enables us to advance science by building on previous results, helps ensure the success of increasingly expensive drug trials, and allows funding agencies to make informed decisions...
