Abstract

Because UMLS semantic network is bulky and complex, user hard to understand and has shortcoming that can not express all semantic network on screen. To solve this problem, rules to dismember semantic network efficiently are introduction. but there is shortcoming that this should classifies manually applying rule whenever UMLS semantic network is modified. Suggest automatic clustering method of UMLS semantic network that use genetic algorithm to solve this problem. Proposed method uses Linked semantic relationship between each semantic type and semantic network does clustering by structurally similar semantic type linkages. To estimate the performance of suggested method, we compared it with result of clustering method by rule.
