ODIE Toolkit NCBO Council Talk December 18, 2007 Rebecca Crowley crowleyrs@upmc.edu
Outline • Overview of the Project • Aims, People, Organization, Domain, Philosophy • Specific Aims from a use case approach • Information Extraction • Ontology Enrichment • First steps, synergies, and year 1work, working together
Project Overview • Funded by National Cancer Center • Develop tools for • Information extraction from clinical text using ontologies • Enrichment of ontologies using clinical text • Project Period: 9/27/2007 – 7/31/2011 • Collaboration with National Center for Biomedical Ontology • Subcontract to Stanford (consultation on Bioportal) • Subcontract to Mayo (Terminologies, NLP)
Specific Aims Year 1 development goals Specific Aim 1:Develop and evaluate methods for information extraction (IE) tasks using existing OBO ontologies, including: • Named Entity Recognition • Co-reference Resolution • Discourse Reasoning • Attribute Value Extraction Specific Aim 2:Develop and evaluate general methods for clinical-text mining to assist in ontology development, including: • Preprocessing • Concept Discovery and Clustering • Suggest taxonomic positioning and relationships • Specific Aim 3: Develop reusable software for performing information extraction and ontology development leveraging existing NCBO tools and compatible with NCBO architecture. Specific Aim 4: Enhance National Cancer Institute Thesaurus Ontology using the ODIE toolkit. Specific Aim 5: Test the ability of the resulting software and ontologies to address important translational research questions in hematologic cancers.

Domain • Will attempt to develop general tools whenever possible • Priorities for evaluation of components in : • Radiology and pathology reports • NCIT as well as other clinically relevant OBO ontologies • Cancer domains (including hematologic oncology)
Philosophy • Toolkit for developers of NLP applications and ontologies • Support interaction and experimentation • Package systems at the conclusion of working with ODIE • Foster cycle of enrichment and extraction needed to advance development of NLP systems • Ontology enrichment as opposed to denovo development • Human-machine collaboration as opposed to fully automated learning
Specific Aims Key ODIE Functionality Specific Aim 1:Develop and evaluate methods for information extraction (IE) tasks using existing OBO ontologies, including: • Named Entity Recognition • Co-reference Resolution • Discourse Reasoning • Attribute Value Extraction Specific Aim 2:Develop and evaluate general methods for clinical-text mining to assist in ontology development, including: • Preprocessing • Concept Discovery and Clustering • Suggest taxonomic positioning and relationships • Specific Aim 3: Develop reusable software for performing information extraction and ontology development leveraging existing NCBO tools and compatible with NCBO architecture.

Named Entity Recognition • User has • clinical documents • one or more ontology • (and/or) one or more lexical resources (synonyms, POS) • (optionally) a reference standard of human annotations • User wants to • determine degree of coverage of different ontologies with text • determine degree of overlap in annotations generated between ontologies • (optionally) test accuracy of NER with different ontologies to choose ‘best’ ontology to annotate text with • tag existing document set with concepts from ontology (optionally using the synonyms from their synonym source if not in ontology) • System produces annotated clinical documents and descriptive statistics
Named Entity Recognition Clinical Document Ontology Lexical Resource Metathesaurus (synonyms) SPECIALIST (POS information)
Named Entity Recognition View Annotated Concepts From A Single Ontology
Named Entity Recognition Compare Annotations from Multiple Ontologies
Co-reference Resolution • User has • clinical documents with NER annotations • one or more ontology • (optionally) a reference standard of co-reference annotations • User wants to • visualize co-references detected using one or more ontologies • (optionally) test accuracy of CR with different ontologies to choose ontology for annotations • tag existing document set with co-references from ontology • System produces annotated clinical documents and descriptive statistics
Discourse Reasoning • User has • a set of clinical documents with NER and CR annotations • a set of information models about those documents • User wants to • determine which information model (or parts of them) should be used for which clinical document
Discourse Reasoning BRAIN, RIGHT PARIETAL, STEROTACTIC BIOPSY: Mucinous Adenocarcinoma, consistent with previous history of colon primary BRAIN Site Morphology COLON Location Grade Size TNM Stage
Attribute Value Extraction • User has • clinical documents with NER, CR, DR annotations • information model of specific subset of documents • Wants to extract attributes and value from clinical text conforming to model • Analyze data using common tools • possible later search for particular cases
Attribute Value Extraction Histologic Type Clark’s Level Breslow Depth Mitoses Ulcer Perineural Invasion Angiolymphatic Invasion Regression
Attribute Value Extraction Histologic Type – Superficial Spreading Clark’s Level – IV Breslow Depth – 1.75 mm Mitoses – Greater than 2 per HLP Ulcer – None Perineural Invasion – None Angiolymphatic Invasion – None Regression - None
Ontology Enrichment • User has • clinical documents • Ontology • User wants to identify potential candidate concepts from the documents to include in the ontology • Visualized in a manner to ease search and recognition of presence of absence of those concepts in the ontology • Suggestions for where in taxonomy the concept should be placed • Suggestions for relationships

First Steps • Use cases • Survey of Bioportal, LexBio, GATE and UIMA • Survey of ontology enrichment techniques • Architectural assumptions and notional architecture • Started discussions with Stanford and Mayo • Delineated first year work • Annotation software and document sets
Architecture Decisions • The primary goal of ODIE is to serve as a workbench for building and refining text processing pipelines and ontologies. • Information retrieval is not a primary goal. However ODIE may have a rudimentary search feature for annotated document collections. • ODIE Toolkit will be a desktop application. • ODIE UI will be based on the Eclipse Rich Client Platform. • ODIE will use UIMA as the Language Engineering Platform. GATE processing resources will be usable in ODIE by wrapping them in UIMA TAEs. • UIMA is highly configurable using xml descriptor files. • Better documentation, community support. • We will use GATE in first year for rapid prototyping and manual annotation • ODIE will have the ability to easily import and use UIMA TAEs developed by others. This may be expanded to GATE processing resources. • ODIE will allow for packaging a pipeline for deployment in a production environment.
Ontrez ODIE Synergies: Ontrez • Information Retrieval • Range of inputs • Annotation • Named Entity Recognition • Enhance annotation of Ontrez? • Use inference and indexing on • clinical documents? • Other kinds of annotation • Information Extraction • Ontology Enrichment • Clinical Documents
Synergies: Mayo • NER and Co-reference resolution • Clustering, discovery of synonyms • LexGrid • Using similar tools, focused on larger range of document types • More – to be explored
First Year Work • NER and co-reference modules • Concept discovery • Develop manually annotated reference standards for NER and CR • Focus on testing and developing algorithms • ODIE 1.0 will include basic architecture and modules for NER, CR and concept discovery, statistics
Working Together • Work with Mayo to scope first year collaboration (NER, CR, synonym discovery) • Decisions regarding terminology access • Better define what NCBO resources we will use
Working Together • SourceForge site, ODIE website and Wiki • All our meetings are open and we are happy to arrange teleconferences • Mondays 2-4 pm (EST) • Schedule visits with Mayo and Stanford for early spring ’08 • Anticipate providing monthly progress updates at the ODIE website starting in January ‘08 • Other ideas? What’s the expectation of the Council?
