#!/usr/bin/perl =head1 NAME create-icpropagation.pl - This program determines the probability of the CUIs in a specified set of sources and relations. =head1 SYNOPSIS This program determines the probability of the CUIs in a specified set of sources and relations. =head1 USAGE Usage: create-icpropagation.pl [OPTIONS] OUTPUTFILE ICFREQUENCY_FILE =head2 OUTPUTFILE File in which the probability of the CUIs will be stored. The ouput file containing the probability of the CUIs has the following format: SMOOTH :: <0|1> SAB :: (include|exclude) REL :: (include|exclude) N :: NUMBER REL :: RELA :: <- if any are specified in the config CUI<>probability CUI<>probability ... =head2 ICFREQUENCY FILE File containing the icfrequency counts The input file contains frequency counts for CUIs in the following format: SAB :: (include|exclude) REL :: (include|exclude) N :: NUMBER CUI<>freq CUI<>freq ... N is the total number of ngrams that occurred in the text used to create the icfrequency file. =head2 Optional Arguments: =head3 --st This outputs the probability of the concepts semantic types rather than the concepts themselves. The frequencies for the st are propagated up the semantic network and therefore are source independent. Note, that the semantic types are expected in the icfrequency input file. This can be created using the create-icfrequency.pl program with the --st option. If you are erroring out due to the header information on the top of the icfrequency file, try using the --disregard option. =head3 --smooth Incorporate Laplace smoothing, where the frequency count of each of the concepts in the taxonomy is incremented by one. The advantage of doing this is that it avoides having a concept that has a probability of zero. The disadvantage is that it can shift the overall probability mass of the concepts from what is actually seen in the corpus. =head3 --config FILE This is the configuration file. The format of the configuration file is as follows: SAB :: REL :: For example, if we wanted to use the MSH vocabulary with only the RB/RN relations, the configuration file would be: SAB :: include MSH REL :: include RB, RN or SAB :: include MSH REL :: exclude PAR, CHD If you go to the configuration file directory, there will be example configuration files for the different runs that you have performed. Note: You can use relations other than PAR/CHD and RB/RN for propagation but we do not recommend it. The PAR/CHD and RB/RN relations are considered the heirarchical relations in the UMLS which is required for propagation to perform correctly. =head3 --disregard This ignores the SAB configuration that the icfrequency file was created with =head3 --precision N Displays values upto N places of decimal. =head3 --username STRING Username is required to access the umls database on MySql =head3 --password STRING Password is required to access the umls database on MySql =head3 --hostname STRING Hostname where mysql is located. DEFAULT: localhost =head3 --database STRING Database contain UMLS DEFAULT: umls =head3 --debug Sets the UMLS-Interface debug flag on for testing =head3 --help Displays the quick summary of program options. =head3 --version Displays the version information. =head1 PROPAGATION The Information Content (IC) is defined as the negative log of the probability of a concept. The probability of a concept, c, is determine by summing the probability of the concept (P(c)) ocurring in some text plus the probability its decendants (P(d)) occuring in some text as see in below: P(c*) = P(c) + \sum_{d\exists decendant(c)} P(d) The initial probability of a concept (P(c)) and its decendants (P(d)) is obtained by dividing the number of times a concept is seen in the corpus (freq(d)) by the total number of concepts (N) as seen below: P(d) = freq(d) / N Not all of the concepts in the taxonomy will be seen in the corpus. The package includes the option of using Laplace smoothing, where the frequency count of each of the concepts in the taxonomy is incremented by one. The advantage of doing this is that it avoides having a concept that has a probability of zero. The disadvantage is that it can shift the overall probability mass of the concepts from what is actually seen in the corpus.
