| Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) is a set of files and software that brings together many health and biomedical vocabularies and standards to enable interoperability between computer systems. Among the tools that contained in UMLS are metathesaurus and semantic network. Similar terms are grouped into a concept, and one term can have more than one concept when it is ambiguous. Every concept in the metathesaurus is assigned to at least one semantic type in the semantic network. There are previous works that found that using thesaurus or ontology for query expansion can improve precision of the retrieval.
Non-medical experts often used common terms in their queries when looking for health-related information. Medical documents, however, are written using medical terms that are unknown to non-medical-experts. CLEF eHealth Task 2 aims to evaluate the effectiveness of information retrieval systems when searching for health content on the web given this mismatch in terms between queries and documents terms. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the use of semantic relations between terms for query expansion to the precision of medical information retrieval in this task. |
