Abstract:

This paper presents an ontology-driven treat-ment article retrieval system developed andexperimented using the data and groundtruths provided by the TREC 2017 precisionmedicine track. The key aspects of our sys-tem include: meaningful integration of vari-ous disease, gene, and drug name ontologies,training of a novel perceptron model for articlerelevance labeling, a ranking module that con-siders additional factors such as journal im-pact and article publication year, and compre-hensive query matching rules. Experimentalresults demonstrate that our proposed systemconsiderably outperforms the results of thebest participating system of the TREC 2017precision medicine challenge.
