Abstract

In this research, we provided a dictionary-based approach for identifying biomedical concepts from the literature. The approach first crawled experimental corpus by E-utilities and built a concept dictionary. Then, we developed an algorithm called Variable-step Window Identification Algorithm (VWIA) for matching biomedical concepts based on preprocessing, POS tagging and the formation of phrase block. The approach could identify embedded biomedical concepts and new concepts, which could identify concepts more completely. The proposed approach obtain 95.0% F-measure overall for the test dataset. Thus, it is promising for the method of biomedical text mining.
