FDA says drug-eluting stents are safe & effective in stable patients with single-vessel disease; even so, they'll have to take Plavix (clopidogrel) & aspirin for a year or more...up to a lifetime. High-risk patients with multivessel disease are much more
There are now many computer programs for automatically determining the sense of a word in context (Word Sense Disambiguation or WSD). The purpose of Senseval is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of such programs with respect to different words, dif
The proposal Algorithms for Linguistic Processing focuses on two crucial problem areas in computational linguistics: problems of processing efficiency and ambiguity.
Lexical ambiguity is a fundamental problem in Information Retrieval (IR), especially in the medical domain. Many systems use a subset of the words contained in the document to represent the content, but they are faced with the problem of ambiguity.
