NAME

UMLS::SenseRelate - A suit of Perl modules that implement the senserelate word sense disambiguation algorithm using the semantic similarity and relatedness options from the UMLS::Similarity package.

SYNOPSIS

use UMLS::Interface;
use UMLS::Similarity;
use UMLS::SenseRelate::TargetWord;

#  initialize option hash and umls
my %option_hash = ();
my $umls        = "";
my $meas        = "";
my $senserelate = "";
my %params      = ();

#  set interface     
$option_hash{"t"} = 1;
$option_hash{"realtime"} = 1;
$umls = UMLS::Interface->new(\%option_hash);

#  set measure
use UMLS::Similarity::path;
$meas = UMLS::Similarity::path->new($umls);

#  set senserelate
$params{"measure"} = "path";

$senserelate = UMLS::SenseRelate::TargetWord->new($umls, $meas, \%params); 

#  set the target word
my $tw = "adjustment";        

#  provide an instance where the target word is in <head> tags
my $instance = "Fifty-three percent of the subjects reported below average ";
   $instance .= "marital <head>adjustment</head>.";

my ($hashref) = $senserelate->assignSense($tw, $instance, undef); 

if(defined $hashref) {
   print "Target word ($tw) was assigned the following sense(s):\n";
   foreach my $sense (sort keys %{$hashref}) {  
     print "  $sense\n"; 
   }
}
else {
   print "Target word ($tw) has no senses.\n";
}

DESCRIPTION

This package consists of the UMLS::SenseRelate::TargetWord module which performs target word sense disambugation using the semantic similarity and relatedness measure in the UMLS::Similarity package.
