Abstract

We propose an approach to automatic clinical question answering based on UMLS Relations. Rules are defined to identify the medical concepts and their relations in the ques- tions and documents with the help of Metamap Transfer and SemRep. The phrase-level answers are generated through matching concepts and relations between question and doc- uments. Experiment shows that our approach obtains high precision and recall.
