Measuring the importance of annotation granularity to the detection of semantic similarity between phenotype profiles

2016-11-08

Abstract excerpt

In phenotype annotations curated from the biological and medical literature, considerable human effort must be invested to select ontological classes that capture the expressivity of the original natural language descriptions, and finer annotation granularity can also entail higher computational costs for particular reasoning tasks. Do coarse annotations suffice for certain applications? Here, we measure how annot...
