The ability to search the biomedical literature based on findings would provide enhanced access to information. We describe a computer program called FINDX which relies on the UMLS Metathesuaurus and restricted natural language processing to identify findings in free text. Such identification can serve as a filtering mechanism while selecting relevant papers. After discussing the salient characteristics of findings on which FINDX depends, we report on the results of an experiment in which we tested the program on a set of MEDLINE abstracts pertaining to the diagnosis of Parkinson Disease.
基于研究结果搜索生物医学文献的能力将提供更好的信息获取途径。我们描述了一个名为FINDX的计算机程序,它依靠统一医学语言系统(UMLS)元词表和受限自然语言处理来识别自由文本中的研究结果。这种识别在选择相关论文时可作为一种筛选机制。在讨论了FINDX所依赖的研究结果的显著特征之后,我们报告了一项实验的结果,在该实验中我们在一组与帕金森病诊断相关的MEDLINE摘要上测试了该程序。
