The goal of case-based retrieval is to assist physicians in the clinical decision making process, by finding relevant medical literature in large archives. We propose a research that aims at improving the effectiveness of case-based retrieval systems through the use of automatically created document-level semantic networks. The proposed research tackles different aspects of information systems and leverages the recent advancements in information extraction and relational learning to revisit and advance the core ideas of concept-centered hypertext models. We propose a two-step methodology that in the first step addresses the automatic creation of document-level semantic networks, then in the second step it designs methods that exploit such document representations to retrieve relevant cases from medical literature. For the automatic creation of documents semantic networks, we design a combination of information extraction techniques and relational learning models. Mining concepts and relations from text, information extraction techniques represent the core of the document-level semantic networks building process. On the other hand, relational learning models have the task of enriching the graph with additional connections that have not been detected by information extraction algorithms and strengthening the confidence score of extracted relations. For the retrieval of relevant medical literature, we investigate methods that are capable of comparing the documents semantic networks in terms of structure and semantics. The automatic extraction of semantic relations from documents, and their centrality in the creation of the documents semantic networks, represent our attempt to go one step further than previous graph-based approaches.
Information Retrieval (IR) aims at retrieving documents that are most relevant to a query provided by a user. Traditional techniques rely mostly on syntactic methods. In some cases, however, links at a deeper semantic level must be considered. In thi
Search engines often follow a two-phase paradigm where in the first stage (the retrieval stage) an initial set of documents is retrieved and in the second stage (the re-ranking stage) the documents are re-ranked to obtain the final result list. While
The multilabel learning problem with large number of labels, features, and data-points has generated a tremendous interest recently. A recurring theme of these problems is that only a few labels are active in any given datapoint as compared to the to
Cross-media retrieval is to return the results of various media types corresponding to the query of any media type. Existing researches generally focus on coarse-grained cross-media retrieval. When users submit an image of Slaty-backed Gull as a quer
While current information retrieval systems are effective for known-item retrieval where the searcher provides a precise name or identifier for the item being sought, systems tend to be much less effective for cases where the searcher is unable to ex
