Abstract

This paper describes the THCIB systems that used in the ShARe/CLEF eHealth 2013 task 1. We implemented two baseline systems and a combination system using the existing technologies. One baseline system is built using MetaMap. We built another baseline system using cTAKES. Furthermore, we developed the combination system with a system combination method. The results of combination system were submitted because the combined results performed better than either single system. We also report the experimental results on the training set and the test set.
