NAME

UMLS::SenseRelate::AllWords - A Perl module that implement the all-words word sense disambiguation using the sense relate wsd algorithm based on the semantic similarity and relatedness options from the UMLS::Similarity package.

DESCRIPTION

This package provides an implementation of the senserelate word sense disambiguation algorithm using the semantic similarity and relatedness options from the UMLS::Similarity package.

SYNOPSIS

use UMLS::Similarity;
use UMLS::SenseRelate::AllWords;

#  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";
$params{"candidates"} = 1;
$senserelate = UMLS::SenseRelate::AllWords->new($umls, $meas, \%params);


#  set the context array
my @context = ();
push @context, "<head id=\"d001.s001.t001\" candidates=\"C1280500,C2348382\">effect</head>";
push @context, "of";
push @context, "the";
push @context, "duration";
push @context, "of";
push @context, "prefeeding";
push @context, "on";
push @context, "<head id=\"d001.s001.t008\" candidates=\"C0001128,C0002520\">amino acid</head>";
push @context, "digestibility";
push @context, "of";
push @context, "<head id=\"d001.s001.t011\" candidates=\"C0043137,C0087114\">wheat</head>";
push @context, "distillers";

my $arrayref = $senserelate->assignSenses(\@context);

foreach my $element (@{$arrayref}) { 
    print "$element\n";
}

INSTALL

To install the module, run the following magic commands:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

This will install the module in the standard location. You will, most probably, require root privileges to install in standard system directories. To install in a non-standard directory, specify a prefix during the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage as:

perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/bridget

It is possible to modify other parameters during installation. The details of these can be found in the ExtUtils::MakeMaker documentation. However, it is highly recommended not messing around with other parameters, unless you know what you're doing.

PARAMETERS

UMLS::SenseRelate parameters

'window  '     -> This parameter determines the window size of the 
                  context on each side of the target word to be used 
                  for disambiguation

'stoplist'     -> This parameter disregards stopwords when creating 
                  the window created on the fly (in realtime). 

'compound'     -> This parameter indicates that compounds exist in 
                  the input instance denoted by an underscore

'trace'        -> This parameters indicates that the trace information
                  should be printed out to the file
