Question on calculate the similarity of UMNSRS? about biosentvec HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi,

Thanks for using our tool.

For your first question, yes, a simple averaging method was used following the previous papers.

For the second question, if you are using BioWordVec model, it can give you a predicted vector if it is an OOV.

Last, we used a window size of 30 for training BioWordVec using PubMed and MIMIC, which mentioned in our paper https://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1810/1810.09302.pdf The preprocessing script reflects that. Another version of BioWordVec only trained using PubMed, used 20 for extrinsic evaluation.

Close for now. Let us know if you have more questions. Thanks!
