MetaMap 是一个广泛使用的程序，可以从生物医学文本中访问统一医学语言系统 (UMLS) Metathesaurus 中的概念。本研究报告了 MetaMap 十多年来的演变，重点关注国家医学图书馆内外生物医学信息学界的研究需求所产生的功能。这些功能包括检测作者定义的首字母缩略词/缩写词、浏览元同义词库以查找与输入文本无关的概念的能力、在谓词极性很重要的情况下检测否定、词义消歧 (WSD) 以及各种技术和算法功能。 MetaMap 开发的近期计划包括纳入化学名称识别和增强的 WSD。
MetaMap is a widely available program providing access to the concepts in the unified medical language system (UMLS) Metathesaurus from biomedical text. This study reports on MetaMap's evolution over more than a decade, concentrating on those features arising out of the research needs of the biomedical informatics community both within and outside of the National Library of Medicine. Such features include the detection of author-defined acronyms/abbreviations, the ability to browse the Metathesaurus for concepts even tenuously related to input text, the detection of negation in situations in which the polarity of predications is important, word sense disambiguation (WSD), and various technical and algorithmic features. Near-term plans for MetaMap development include the incorporation of chemical name recognition and enhanced WSD.
