Take a look at our new work by Profs. Frank Meng and Craig Morioka on generating lexical variants for using a multiple sequence alignment approach published in !

Automating the generation of lexical patterns for processing free text in clinical documents Objective Many tasks in natural language processing utilize lexical pattern-matching techniques, including information extraction (IE), negation identification, and syntactic parsing. However, it is generally difficult to derive patterns that achieve acceptable levels of recall while also remaining…
