Medical Informatics
Our research is often not focused on a particular application. However,
there are many fascinating natural language processing problems to be
found in the medical domain, which has led to our growing interest in
the area of
Medical Informatics.
We are developing
measures of semantic
similarity and relatedness for the biomedical domain.
We are developing a word sense disambiguation system (CuiTools) that
disambiguates biomedical text relative to senses found in the
UMLS.
A number of UMD graduate students have held summer internships at
the Mayo Clinic,
Division of Biomedical Informatics, in Rochester, Minnesota.
