Ranking Medical Terms to Support Expansion of Lay Language Resources for Patient Comprehension of Electronic Health Record Notes: Adapted Distant Supervision Approach

Ranking Medical Terms to Support Expansion of Lay Language Resources for Patient Comprehension of Electronic Health Record Notes: Adapted Distant Supervision Approach

We represented multiword terms (ie, compound terms) by the mean of the vectors of their component words by following Jagannatha et al [37] and Chen and colleagues [38,39]. We mapped candidate terms to UMLS concepts and included semantic types for those concepts that had an exact match or a head-noun match as features. Each semantic type is a 0-1 binary feature. This type of feature has been used to identify domain-specific medical terms [23,33] and to rank medical terms from individual EHR notes [38].
