Terminology standardization reflects two different aspects involving the meaning of terms and the structure of terminological resources. In this paper, we focus on the structural aspect of standardization and we present the work of re-modeling TriMED, a multilingual terminological database conceived to support multi-register medical communication....

The CLEF eHealth Technology Assisted Reviews (TAR) in Empirical Medicine Tasks focused on evaluating the effectiveness of various technology-assisted review systems in assisting healthcare professionals in retrieving relevant information from vast amounts of medical literature. It ran for three years, from 2017 until 2019, giving the opportunity to...
Chapter
In this paper, we describe the methodology and experimental analysis of a twofold strategy for the retrieval of medical relevant information: a ranking fusion and a query reformulation approach. In particular, the query reformulation approach is based on the idea that a query is composed of two parts: the primary term and the secondary term of the...

In this paper, we want to speculate about the possibility to model all the currently known/proposed approaches to terminology into a single schema. We will use the Entity-Relationship (ER) diagram as our tool for the conceptual data model of the problem and to express the associations between the objects of the study. We will analyse the onomasiolo...

The process of standardization plays an important role in the management of terminological resources. In this context, we present the work of re-modeling an existing multilingual terminological database for the medical domain, named TriMED.

Conference Paper
Dans cette étude, nous proposons une perspective neuve du concept de poids des termes techniques en nous concentrant sur la notion de « technicité » comme propriété sémantique de l’unité linguistique elle-même. L’idée de base est que la valeur de technicité d’un terme est inversement proportionnelle à sa nature polysémique. Nous formalisons la form...

Supervised machine learning algorithms require a set of labelled examples to be trained; however, the labelling process is a costly and time consuming task which is carried out by experts of the domain who label the dataset by means of an iterative process to filter out non-relevant objects of the dataset.
