MARIE (context-aware term mapping with string matching and embedding vectors)

• MARIE (context-aware term mapping with string matching and embedding vectors) is a tool to map a hospital’s unique terms to standardized clinical terminologies.
• By incorporating both string matching methods and term embedding vectors generated by BioBERT, it utilizes both structural and contextual information to calculate similarity measures between source and target terms.
• Compared to previous term mapping methods, our proposed method shows improved mapping accuracy.
• Furthermore, as a general mapping method, it can be easily expanded to incorporate any string matching or term embedding methods.
