A new synonym-substitution method to enrich the human phenotype ontology. BMC Bioinformatics 18, 446 (2017). https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-017-1858-71471-2105http://hdl.handle.net/10347/22094Named entity recognition is critical for biomedical text mining, where it is not unusual to find entities labeled by a wide range of different terms. Nowadays, ontologies are one of the crucial enabling technologies in bioinformatics, providing resources for improved natural language processing tasks. However, biomedical ontology-based named entity recognition continues to be a major research problem.eng© The Author(s). 2017. Open Access.
