Title
The NLM indexing initiative's Medical Text Indexer
Abstract
The Medical Text Indexer (MTI) is a program for producing MeSH (R) indexing recommendations. It is the major product of NLM's Indexing Initiative and has been used in both semi-automated and fully automated indexing environments at the Library since mid 2002. We report here on an experiment conducted with MEDLINE (R) indexers to evaluate MTIs performance and to generate ideas for its improvement as a tool for user-assisted indexing. We also discuss some Itering techniques developed to improve MTIs accuracy for use primarily in automatically producing the indexing for several abstracts collections.
