Medical case-based retrieval by leveraging medical ontology and physician feedback: UIUC-IBM at ImageCLEF 2010

Abstract

This paper reports the experiment results of the UIUC-IBM team in participating in the medical case retrieval task of ImageCLEF 2010. We experimented with multiple methods to leverage medical ontology and user (physician) feedback; both have worked very well, achieving the best retrieval performance among all the submissions.
