Tutorial on Biomedical Text Processing Using Semantics

摘要

Exploring the vast amount of rapidly growing biomedical text is of utmost importance, but is also particularly challenging due to the highly specialized domain knowledge and inconsistency of the nomenclature. This introductory tutorial will be a hands-on session to explore the semantics encoded in biomedical ontologies to process text using shell scripting with minimal software dependencies. Participants will learn how to process OWL, retrieve synonyms and ancestors, perform entity linking, and construct large lexicons.
