NAME UMLS::Similarity CHANGES Changes from version 0.15 to 0.17 Modified the output of umls-similarity to return only the pair of CUIs that obtain the highest similarity score when terms that map to multiple concepts are being used. I added a --allsenses option if you would like the original output that displayed all possible CUIs with their similarity score for a given pair of terms. Added the vector measure. This measure is in 'beta' version so there will be some modifications to it in the future. I also removed the print statements that were displayed when the Wu and Palmer (wup) measure was being used. Sorry about the noise. Changes from version 0.13 to 0.15 Modified the output of umls-similarity so that if a concept doesn't exist you can tell which one it is. I also added a --verbose option which gives a little more information about the concept that doesn't exist. Modified the wup.pm module. The Wu and Palmer measure is twice the depth of the two concepts LCS divided by the product of the the depths of the individual concepts. I was using the minimum depths of these concepts where as I should have been using the depth of the path that contained the LCS itself. Changes from version 0.11 to 0.13 Added two new semantic similarity measure modules: i) nam.pm which is an implemantion of the semantic similarity measure described by Nguyan and Al-Mubaid, 2006 and ii) cdist.pm which is the Conceptual Distance measure described by Rada, et. al., 1989. Modified the umls-similarity.pl utility program to incorporate the nam.pm and cdist.pm similarity modules. Changes from version 0.09 to 0.11 Allow the umls-similarity.pl program to obtain the semantic similarity between a term and CUI as well as CUI-CUI and term-term pairs. Added some error checking to the umls-similarity.pl program and the measure modules. Changes from version 0.07 to 0.09 Removed the queryUMLS.pl module and put in its place umls-similarity.pl. This does exactly what the original queryUMLS.pl does but it also now accepts files and is much nicer. Changes from version 0.05 to 0.07 Added the similarity measure described by Wu and Palmer (1994) Updated the documentation Changes from version 0.03 to 0.05 Modified the Changelog directory Modified documenation - tried to get the misspelling and obvious errors removed. Removed the HTML documentation Changes from version 0.01 to 0.03 Modified documentation Modified the utils/ program
