A language classifier that automatically divides medical documents for experts and health care consumers.

We propose a pipelined system for the automatic classification of medical documents according to their language (English, Spanish and German) and their target user group (medical experts vs. health care consumers). We use a simple n-gram based categorization model and present experimental results for both classification tasks. We also demonstrate how this methodology can be integrated into a health care document retrieval system.

Multilingual biomedical dictionary.

We present a unique technique to create a multilingual biomedical dictionary, based on a methodology called Morpho-Semantic indexing. Our approach closes a gap caused by the absence of free available multilingual medical dictionaries and the lack of accuracy of non-medical electronic translation tools. We first explain the underlying technology followed by a description of the dictionary interface, which makes use of a multilingual subword thesaurus and of statistical information from a domain-specific, multilingual corpus.
