Rahimi A, Baldwin T, Verspoor K. (2020) WikiUMLS: Aligning UMLS to Wikipedia via Cross-lingual Neural Ranking. COLING 2020.
We present our work on aligning the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) to Wikipedia, to facilitate manual alignment of the two resources. We propose a cross-lingual neural reranking model to match a UMLS concept with a Wikipedia page, which achieves a recall@1of 72%, a substantial improvement of 20% over word- and char-level BM25, enabling manual
