As some of you may know, Anagha and Mahesh worked full-time as interns at the Mayo Clinic for 3 months this summer. Further details about the nature of their work there can be found in their final reports and the slides of their final presentations, which are available here:
Anagha: http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Group05/summer-report-anagha-2005.txt http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Group05/mayo-seminar-summer2005-anagha.pdf Mahesh: http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Group05/summer-report-mahesh-2005.txt http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse/Group05/mayo-seminar-summer2005-mahesh.pdf In brief, Mahesh applied supervised disambiguation techniques to abbreviations and acronyms as found in clinical notes, and Anagha investigated techniques for automatically finding the number of clusters in the NLM word sense disambiguation data set. I had the pleasure of attending their final presentations at Mayo in late August, and found that they both had done interesting and significant work, and that it was very well presented. I congratulate them (somewhat belatedly) on a summer well spent! Ted -- Ted Pedersen http://www.d.umn.edu/~tpederse ------------------------ Yahoo!
