Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new method to extract the meaning of medical concept correlations from MEDLINE abstract sentences. Our method incorporates a medical knowledge base, natural language processing approaches, and text classification methods. We describe how we automatically created the training sets and report the results of our initial experiments.
