SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND SOFTWARE FOR ASSESSING AMBIGUITY OF MEDICAL TERMS

摘要

Some known medical terms may function as non-medical terms depending on their particular context. Accordingly, the present inventors devised systems, methods, and software that facilitate determining whether a term that is found in a medical corpus is likely to be a medical term when found in another corpus. An exemplary embodiment receives a term and computes an ambiguity score based on language models for a medical and a non-medical corpus.
