This study presents a system for automatically assigning semantic information and relations to biomedical terms. It builds multilingual lexical networks using morpho-semantics, crucial for databases and cross-language retrieval.

Area of Science:

  • Computational linguistics
  • Bioinformatics
  • Lexicography

Background:

  • Automatic assignment of semantic information to compound terms is essential for multilingual databases and cross-language information retrieval.
  • Developing robust methods for semantic relation extraction is a key challenge in natural language processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a system for automatically assigning semantic information (definitions and relations) to compound terms.
  • To demonstrate the utility of morpho-semantics in constructing multilingual lexical networks within biomedical corpora.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a morphosemantic parser to identify morphologically related words.
  • Employing a multilingual table of basic word root relations.
  • Applying language-independent rules for generating lists of related terms.

Main Results:

  • Successfully implemented a system for automatic semantic labelling and relation grouping (synonymy, hyponymy, proximity).
  • Developed a French biomedical lexicon of approximately 29,000 terms.
  • Generated over 3,000 distinct lexical families.

Conclusions:

  • Morpho-semantics offers an effective approach for building multilingual lexical networks in specialized domains like biomedicine.
  • The presented system automates semantic enrichment, enhancing the utility of biomedical terminologies for various applications.
