One year of MEDLINE abstracts to be used as evaluation dataset.
In order to evaluate the efficiency of the classifier, we compared its MeSH classifier at each of the news articles by the alternative news Integration, as this only depends on the usage of the metadata created by the News monitoring system does not impact the core of the usability of the News monitoring system are independent from that system. Integration of it with the Event Registry Moreover, the automated MeSH classifier and the Improved analysis of the regional news, allowing for the evidence-basedĭecision-making in line with the research review where also the MIDAS externalĭashboard can contribute. With this MeSH headings integration we also expect an Figure 3 – A screenshot of the one of the visualisation modules at the MIDAS external news dashboard, showcasing the percentage of news articles that talk about a specific MeSH heading Talk about a specific MeSH heading (see Figure 3). Module that allows the user to account for the percentage of news articles that Moreover, some of the visualisation modulesĪvailable at the news dashboard expose that integration with the MeSH headings. With the specific health study, by using the same Medical Subject HeadingĬlasses for synchronisation. Will also allow the public health user to better align that news monitoring The utilization of the PubMed search engine. Worldwide news by health professionals which are used to the best practices in This usability aims to facilitate the monitoring of Figure 2 – The MIDAS news dashboard with integrated MeSH headings annotations (see dropdown menu named “Categories”). Headings are used in the search for scientific articles. Usability of the well-known medical research explorer PubMed, where the MeSH News dashboard can use the MeSH Headings in the search of news, just byĬhoosing them over a dropdown menu (see Figure 2). In that, the user of the new MIDAS external MIDAS integrated the newly developed automated MeSH classifier in the alreadyĪvailable external news dashboard. When that is derived from the familiarity with the tools in use. The ease-of-use is of great value to a tool of this nature, particularly Figure 1 – MEDLINE’s record year on research articles labeled as Public Health is 2002, counting more than 5 thousand instances This article will present an example of innovation at MIDAS consisting of a news explorer with integrated MeSH headings to ease the health news search. On the other hand, it can also contribute to the evaluation of the public health campaigns by allowing decision-makers to access to what is the media talking about, often reflecting the opinion of communities. The search of worldwide news contributes to a global perspective of the world health, but also to the aspects of regional health where public health institutes can act upon.
