This study introduces a novel approach to automatic medical document indexing by utilizing subwords instead of full words. This method enhances the derivation of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms for improved information retrieval.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Information Science

Background:

  • Automatic indexing of medical documents is crucial for efficient information retrieval.
  • Current methods often rely on complete words, which may not capture the full semantic meaning.
  • The MeSH thesaurus is a standard for indexing biomedical literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate three alternative procedures for automatic medical document indexing.
  • To propose and assess the use of morphologically plausible subwords as basic units for deriving MeSH terms.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical document indexing.

Main Methods:

  • Developing morphological segmentation and normalization procedures for subwords.
  • Creating mappings from subwords to MeSH terms.

  • Evaluating the proposed procedures on a German-language corpus of medical documents.

    • Main Results:

    • The study presents three distinct procedures for subword-based automatic indexing.
    • Detailed descriptions of the morphological processing and subword-to-MeSH mapping techniques are provided.
    • Evaluation results on a German corpus demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.

    Conclusions:

    • Using morphologically derived subwords offers a promising alternative to traditional word-based indexing.
    • The proposed methods for segmentation, normalization, and mapping facilitate the derivation of MeSH terms.
    • This approach has the potential to enhance the automatic indexing of medical literature.
