Algorithm for finding best matching citations in PubMed. When a match is found for a term or phrase in a translation table the mapping process is complete and does not continue on to the next translation table. If a match is found in this translation table, the term will be searched as MeSH that includes the MeSH term and any specific terms indented under that term in the MeSH hierarchy , and in all fields.
For example, if you enter child rearing in the search box, PubMed will translate this search to: If you enter an entry term for a MeSH term the translation will also include an all fields search for the MeSH term associated with the entry term. For example, a search for odontalgia will translate to: Substance name mappings do not include a mapping for individual terms in a phrase, e. MeSH term mappings that include a standalone number or single character do not include a mapping for individual terms in a phrase, e. These will automatically map to the journal abbreviation that is used to search journals in PubMed and in all fields.
For example, a search for endocrine pathology will translate to: The full author translation table includes full author names for articles published from forward, if available. If the term is not found in the above tables, except for Full Author, and is not a single term, the full investigator table is consulted for a match. The full investigator collaborator translation table includes full names, if available. Enter a full investigator name in natural or inverted order, e.
If the term is not found in the above tables, except for Full Author or Full Investigator, and is not a single term, PubMed checks the author index for a match. When combining multiple authors, to avoid a match with full author names, include initials or use the [au] search tag, e. Author names comprised of only stopwords, e. If the term is not found in the above tables, except for Full Author, Author, or Full Investigator, and is not a single term, PubMed checks the investigator index for a match.
PubMed breaks apart the phrase and repeats the above automatic term mapping process until a match is found. PubMed ignores stopwords in searches. If there is no match, the individual terms will be combined ANDed together and searched in all fields. The National Library of Medicine cannot provide specific medical advice.

Systematic Reviews Search Filter. The genetics searches were developed in conjunction with the staff of GeneReviews: In the standard best match order, PubMed displays documents in order of decreasing relevance score. This score is calculated by comparing the input query to the document fields e. Text, Author, Journal, etc. Document fields are indexed to allow the system to quickly retrieve the documents matching a given query.
During indexing, the terms and their frequencies in the document are calculated and stored for each index field. During retrieval, the term frequencies are used in a weighted fashion to return a ranked list of PubMed citations matching the terms in the user query. The relevancy of a document in a single term query is dependent on the following:. I D F t — The global weight of a term assumes that terms are independent in their contribution to finding relevant material. F W f — Since the contribution of a field to the overall representation of a document is not equal, fields have weights of their own, and consequently the occurrence of a term in a particular field will have more importance than in other fields.
For example, in computing the weight of a document, the occurrence of a term in the title of a document would have more importance than the occurrence of the term in the abstract field. The actual values are optimized empirically and may change over time. F L f — For every document, a field has a different length. The sum of all field lengths of a document is equal to the document length. T F t — The local weight of a term measures its importance in a particular document for a specific field.
It is the sum of weighted frequencies of the term for all fields of a document. Generally, the more frequent a term is within a document field, the more important it is in representing the content of that document as a whole. In a first pass, we generate document scores by using the local, global and field weights defined above. The top articles returned by the weighted term frequency algorithm above are then re-ranked for better relevance by a new machine-learning algorithm. If any technical constraints prevent the machine-learning architecture from re-ranking the results, the sort will revert to the standard best match algorithm, described above.
The learned ranking algorithm combines over signals that are helpful for finding best matching results. Most of these signals are computed from the query-document term pairs e. The new ranking model was built on relevance data extracted from the anonymous and aggregated PubMed search logs over an extended period of time. In training, the goal is to find a function F: T is the truncation rank defining the list of documents that we score. The objective function is defined as:. An approximation of the derivative of the objective function is then used to identify whether documents should be swapped to maximize the NDCG T score:.
A gradient is then calculated for each document d j by summing the gradients associated with all pairs of documents including d j:. The resulting model is thus a forest of gradient boosted trees. The machine-learning based algorithm achieves significant improvement in retrieval performance over the previous weighted term frequency algorithm. The neighbors of a document are those documents in the database that are the most similar to it. The similarity between documents is measured by the words they have in common, with some adjustment for document lengths.
To carry out such a program, one must first define what a word is. For us, a word is basically an unbroken string of letters and numerals with at least one letter of the alphabet in it. Words end at hyphens, spaces, new lines, and punctuation. The common, but uninformative, words also known as stopwords are eliminated from processing at this stage. Next, a limited amount of stemming of words is done, but no thesaurus is used in processing.
Words from the abstract of a document are classified as text words. Words from titles are also classified as text words, but words from titles are added in a second time to give them a small advantage in the local weighting scheme. MeSH terms are placed in a third category, and a MeSH term with a subheading qualifier is entered twice, once without the qualifier and once with it. If a MeSH term is starred indicating a major concept in a document , the star is ignored. These three categories of words or phrases in the case of MeSH comprise the representation of a document.
No other fields, such as Author or Journal, enter into the calculations. Having obtained the set of terms that represent each document, the next step is to recognize that not all words are of equal value. Each time a word is used, it is assigned a numerical weight.

This numerical weight is based on information that the computer can obtain by automatic processing. Automatic processing is important because the number of different terms that have to be assigned weights is close to two million for this system. The weight or value of a term is dependent on three types of information: The first of these pieces of information is used to produce a number called the global weight of the term. The global weight is used in weighting the term throughout the database.
The second and third pieces of information pertain only to a particular document and are used to produce a number called the local weight of the term in that specific document. When a word occurs in two documents, its weight is computed as the product of the global weight times the two local weights one pertaining to each of the documents.
The global weight of a term is greater for the less frequent terms. This is reasonable because the presence of a term that occurred in most of the documents would really tell one very little about a document. On the other hand, a term that occurred in only documents of one million would be very helpful in limiting the set of documents of interest. A word that occurred in only 10 documents is likely to be even more informative and will receive an even higher weight. The local weight of a term is the measure of its importance in a particular document.
Generally, the more frequent a term is within a document, the more important it is in representing the content of that document. However, this relationship is saturating, i. In addition, we do not want a longer document to be considered more important just because it is longer; therefore, a length correction is applied. This local weight computation is based on the Poisson distribution and the formula can be found in Lin J and Wilbur WJ.
This provides an indication of how related two documents are. The resultant score is an example of a vector score. Vector scoring was originated by Gerard Salton and has a long history in text retrieval. Addison-Wesley, for further information on this topic. Our approach differs from other approaches in the way we calculate the local weights for the individual terms. Once the similarity score of a document in relation to each of the other documents in the database has been computed, that document's neighbors are identified as the most similar highest scoring documents found.
These closely related documents are pre-computed for each document in PubMed so that when you select Similar articles, the system has only to retrieve this list. This enables a fast response time for such queries. Enter each citation string on a separate line below, or create a file using the following format:. Enter your email address.
