Groundtruth budgeting : a novel approach to semi-supervised relation extraction in medical language
We address the problem of weakly-supervised relation extraction in hospital discharge summaries. Sentences with pre-identified concept types (for example: medication, test, problem, symptom) are labeled with the relationship between the concepts. We present a novel technique for weakly-supervised …

Human concept cognition and semantic relations in the unified medical language system: A coherence analysis.
… probabilistic approach, inference network, and language modeling, yet the required improvement is still far from fruition. One promising approach that is highly touted to offer a potential solution exists in the cognitive paradigm, where knowledge representation practice should involve, or start …

Application and Evaluation of Unified Medical Language System Resources to Facilitate Patient Information Acquisition through Enhanced Vocabulary Coverage
… in, or missing from, a standardized controlled medical vocabulary with emphasis on those terms necessary for representing the canine physical examination. A generalized framework for studying the process of patient information acquisition is addressed by the Patient Information Acquisition Model …

Knowledge base integration in biomedical natural language processing applications
With the progress of natural language processing in the biomedical field, the lack of annotated data due to regulations and expensive labor remains an issue. In this work, we study the potential of knowledge bases for biomedical language processing to compensate for the shortage of annotated data. …

Clinical preceptor and student perceptions of the impact of cultural and linguistic differences
… spoken English, and to read and write English medical language in the clinical setting. Understanding expectations is important for students and preceptors to work together, but also applies to understanding expectations of the preceptorship model and the nursing school procedures. Building …

A system for automated lexical mapping
Merging of clinical systems and medical databases, or aggregation of information from disparate databases, frequently requires a process where vocabularies are compared and similar concepts are mapped. Using a normalization phase followed by a novel alignment stage inspired by DNA sequence …

Exploring genomic medicine using integrative biology
… experimental context of each using the Unified Medical Language System, a vocabulary of over 1 million concepts. I created an automated system to join data sets related by experimental context.

Large scale disease prediction
… data was then automatically tagged with Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) concepts [7]. Using the UMLS tags, datasets related to several phenotypes were obtained and gene selection was performed on the expression values of this tagged microarray data. Using the tagged datasets and the list …

Concept-value pair extraction from semi-structured clinical reports : a case study using echocardiogram reports
… reports. The system which uses a Unified Medical Language System compatible architecture is very simple and takes advantage of canonical language use patterns to identify sentence templates with which concepts and their values can be identified. The data extracted from this system will be …

Points of Refusal: An Arts-Based Exploration of the Medicalization of Mad Trans Identity
This project discusses the impact of medicalization on transgender identity, examining how it enforces transphobic, white, abled, sane, cisgender, patriarchal norms, and effectively eugenics. By incorporating crip and trans theory, art, and embracing a mad aesthetic, I first highlight the concept …

Enriching and designing metaschemas for the UMLS semantic network
The disparate terminologies used by various biomedical applications or professionals make the communication between them more difficult. The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) is an attempt to integrate different medical terminologies into a unified …

Abstraction, extension and structural auditing with the UMLS semantic network
The Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is a two-level biomedical terminological knowledge base, consisting of the Metathesaurus (META) and the Semantic Network (SN), which is an upper-level ontology of broad categories called semantic types (STs). The two levels are related via assignments of …

Using structural and semantic methodologies to enhance biomedical terminologies
Biomedical terminologies and ontologies underlie various Health Information Systems (HISs), Electronic Health Record (EHR) Systems, Health Information Exchanges (HIEs) and health administrative systems. Moreover, the proliferation of interdisciplinary research efforts in the biomedical field is …
