Learning multiple distributed prototypes of semantic categories for named entity recognition.

International journal of data mining and bioinformatics
The scarcity of large labelled datasets comprising clinical text that can be exploited within the paradigm of supervised machine learning creates barriers for the secondary use of data from electronic health records. It is therefore important to deve...

Facilitating Full-text Access to Biomedical Literature Using Open Access Resources.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Open access (OA) resources and local libraries often have their own literature databases, especially in the field of biomedicine. We have developed a method of linking a local library to a biomedical OA resource facilitating researchers' full-text ar...

Representation of Biomedical Expertise in Ontologies: a Case Study about Knowledge Acquisition on HTLV viruses and their clinical manifestations.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we introduce a set of methodological steps for knowledge acquisition applied to the organization of biomedical information through ontologies. Those steps are tested in a real case involving Human T Cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV), whic...

A Pilot Ontology for Healthcare Quality Indicators.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Computerisation of quality indicators for the English National Health Service currently relies primarily on queries and clinical coding, with little use of ontologies. We created a searchable ontology for a diverse set of healthcare quality indicator...

Characterizing Health Information for Different Target Audiences.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Different groups of audiences in health care: health professionals and health consumers, each have different information needs. Health monographs targeting different audiences are created by leveraging readers' background knowledge. The NCI's Physici...

Evaluating a Hierarchical Clinical Event Linkage Model for Clinic-Specific Databases.

Studies in health technology and informatics
A relational database model is presented that stores the hierarchical linkages between clinical events with qualifier codes, such that the explicit contextual meaning of an event's attributes is preserved upon retrieval. A retrospective analysis of 3...

Development of an Adolescent Depression Ontology for Analyzing Social Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Depression in adolescence is associated with significant suicidality. Therefore, it is important to detect the risk for depression and provide timely care to adolescents. This study aims to develop an ontology for collecting and analyzing social medi...

Constructing a Graph Database for Semantic Literature-Based Discovery.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Literature-based discovery (LBD) generates discoveries, or hypotheses, by combining what is already known in the literature. Potential discoveries have the form of relations between biomedical concepts; for example, a drug may be determined to treat ...

Consumer Health Vocabulary: A Proposal for a Brazilian Portuguese Language.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Studies show a gap between the expressions commonly used by health consumers and health professionals. To bridge this gap, consumer health vocabularies are presented as a solution. The aim of this paper is to describe an on-going project to create a ...

Annotation methods to develop and evaluate an expert system based on natural language processing in electronic medical records.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The objective of the SYNODOS collaborative project was to develop a generic IT solution, combining a medical terminology server, a semantic analyser and a knowledge base. The goal of the project was to generate meaningful epidemiological data for var...
