目前，所有MEDLINE文档都通过医学主题词（MeSH）进行索引。计算两个MeSH标题以及两个文档之间的语义相似度对于许多生物医学文本挖掘应用已经变得非常重要。我们开发了一个R软件包，MeSHSim，它可以计算九个相似性度量MeSH节点之间，通过它可以很容易地计算MeSH标题以及MEDLINE文档之间的相似性。此外，MeSHSim支持查询MeSH标题的层次结构信息和检索查询文档的MeSH标题，并且可以轻松地集成到任何生物医学文本分析任务的管道中。
Currently, all MEDLINE documents are indexed by medical subject headings (MeSH). Computing semantic similarity between two MeSH headings as well as two documents has become very important for many biomedical text mining applications. We develop an R package, MeSHSim, which can compute nine similarity measures between MeSH nodes, by which similarity between MeSH headings as well as MEDLINE documents can be easily computed. Also, MeSHSim supports querying hierarchy information of a MeSH heading and retrieving MeSH headings of a query document, and can be easily integrated into pipelines for any biomedical text analysis tasks.
