A key problem is mismatch due to the fact that a concept can be described in ma ny different ways (e.g. headache\, pain in head\, cephalalgia\, migraine\, etc.). Extensive studies have been made\, ranging from word matching to c oncept matching. In this talk\, I will describe the various approaches use d for biomedical information retrieval. Experimental results show that a f lexible approach based on concepts is preferred to a strict concept-based approach.\n\nDespite the progress made in research\, tremendous challenges still remain\, especially for non-specialist users. For example\, the tru stfulness of information will be essential for biomedical information retr ieval. I will discuss on some of these challenges.\n\n \n\nJian-Yun Nie Ph .D.\n Full Professor\, Department of Computer Science and Operations Resear ch\n Université de Montréal\n\nWebsite\n\n \n DTSTART:20170425T150000Z DTEND:20170425T163000Z SUMMARY:BRIDGE Webinar: Jian-Yun Nie\, Université de Montréal URL:/desautels/channels/event/bridge-webinar-jian-yun- nie-universite-de-montreal-267183 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
