The BiTeM/ SIBtexgroup 
•TextMining and Bibliomics(P Ruch) 
Strongfocus on clinicaland biologicaldata 
heg(training librarians) and SIB (assistingbiocurators) 
•Long historyof participation in TREC campaigns 
Genomics, Chemical IR, MedicalRecords… 
•Translationalmedicineprojects(EU FP7 Programme) 
Khresmoi: multimodal medicalsearchengine 
MD-Paedigree: retrievalof similarcases for clinicians
The CDS Track2014 
•ClinicalDecisionSupport : « retrieval of biomedical articles relevant for answering generic clinical questions about medical records » 
Ex. query: « 25-year-old woman with fatigue,hairloss, 
weight gain, and cold intolerance for 6

2. Document representationwithMeSH 
•Twopossible sources: 
•CollectedfromMEDLINE whenthereisa PMID 
•Extractedfromdocuments witha categorizer(strict mapping) 
•Twopossible integrationsbetweenoriginal textand MeSH: 
•Building separateindexes thencombiningruns 
•Mergingbothrepresentationsintoone unique document

Resultsfor MeSHrepresentation 
•Best R-Prec0.143 for MeSHrepresentation(vs 0.211 for text) 
oMeSHconcepts collectedfromMEDLINE not useful(best R-Prec0.028) 
oOnly 53%of documents had MeSHterms in MEDLINE 
•Complementarityfor findingrelevant documents (thanksto qrel) : 
•Lowcomplementarity 
•Combination: 0.211 -> 0.213
