Tutorial:

Detecting Medical Concepts in Clinical Texts (named entity extraction and use of specialized vocabularies, terminologies, ontologies)

  • Terminological and ontological resources for biomedical language processing (structure of biomedical terminologies, introduction to a subset of terminological resources including MeSH, SNOMED and UMLS, dictionary-based methods for biomedical entity detection) - 45' (Pierre 1)
  • Biomedical information extraction : entity detection and relation extraction (supervised entity detection methods, supervised relation detection, examples from biomedical shared tasks) - 1h30 (Pierre 2, Pierre 3)
  • Hybrid biomedical IE methods (combining dictionaries and machine learning) - 45' (Pierre 4)
Pierre and Eric will combine their tutorials, as follows:
