Abstract: The volume of biomedical literature has experienced explosive growth in recent years. This is reflected in the corresponding increase in the size of MEDLINE®, the largest bibliographic database of biomedical citations. Indexers at the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) need efficient tools to help them accommodate the ensuing workload. After reviewing issues in the automatic assignment of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH® terms) to biomedical text, we focus more specifically on the new subheading attachment… Show more

“…Lastly, Evans et al (1991) suggest combining natural language processing techniques with the information provided by a thesaurus. This approach is very common in areas with high scientific knowledge production and indexing is important, such as in biosciences, medicine or aeronautics (Glier et al, 2013;Névéol et al, 2009). …”

“…Farkas and Szarvas [9] use an interesting approach to induce new rules and acquire synonyms using decision trees. Névéol et al [10] also model rules based on indexing guidelines used by coders using semantic predications to assign MeSH heading-subheading pairs to indexing biomedical articles. A recent attempt [11] also exploits the hierarchical nature of the the ICD-9-CM terminology to improve the performance achieving comparable performance to the best scores achieved during the competition.…”
