Welcome to the THYME project

Welcome to the Temporal Histories of Your Medical Event (THYME) project (THYME is pronounced [taim]).

The overarching long-term vision of our research is to create novel technologies for processing clinical free text. Such technologies will enable sophisticated and efficient indexing, retrieval and data mining over the ever increasing amounts of electronic clinical data. Processing free text poses a number of challenges to which the fields of Artificial intelligence, natural language processing and computer science in general have made advances. Methods for processing free text are informed by linguistic theory combined with the power of modern machine learning. A key component to the next step, natural language understanding, is discovering events and their relations on a timeline. Temporal relations are of prime importance in biomedicine as they are intrinsically linked to diseases, signs and symptoms, and treatments. Understanding the timeline of clinically relevant events is key to the next generation of translational research where the importance of generalizing over large amounts of data holds the promise of deciphering biomedical puzzles.

The best methods have been/will be released as part of the cTAKES (ctakes.apache.org) for the larger community to use and contribute to. We will test the methods against biomedical queries.

Funding

Phase 1 of the project (2010-2014) was supported by THYME R01LM010090 from the National Library Of Medicine and in part by the i2b2 project (U54LM008748 from the National Library of Medicine).

Phase 2 (2015-2018) and Phase 3 (2019-2023) are supported by THYME R01LM010090 from the National Library Of Medicine.

Shared NLP Tasks with THYME participation


Getting access to the THYME corpus and gold standard annotations

The THYME corpus with the gold standard annotations is available to others involved in NLP research under a data use agreement (DUA) with Mayo Clinic. The corpus is distributed through the hNLP Center (center.healthnlp.org). Please, visit the hNLP Center website for more details.

When using the THYME corpus, please

  1. Include the Mayo Clinic in your acknowledgements
  2. Cite the article: William F. Styler IV, Steven Bethard, Sean Finan, Martha Palmer, Sameer Pradhan, Piet C. de Groen, Brad Erickson, Timothy Miller, Chen Lin, Guergana Savova, James Pustejovsky.

THYME Gold Standard Annotations

Annotation layers are treebank and propbank annotations as well as temporal annotations for events, temporal expressions and temporal relations.

Annotation guidelines

  • i2b2 Simplified THYME Guidelines (PDF) The guidelines provided to the organizers of the 2012 Temporal relations i2b2 challenge for consideration during planning. They reflect an earlier stage of our guidelines.

Tool for viewing the gold standard annotations - Anafora

We developed a web-based annotation tool. It is open source and available at https://github.com/weitechen/anafora. Use it to view the THYME annotations. Citation for the tool is:

THYME Software

The THYME system is available as part of Apache cTAKES at http://ctakes.apache.org/

Demo of the system: ctakes.apache.org -> get started -> demos -> ctakes-temporal (http://alt.qcri.org/semeval2016/task12/)

We have developed a visualization tool (THYME viz tool) available in Apache cTAKES sandbox. A prototype and details of the THYME vizualization tool was presented by Sean Finan at several annual workshops:

  • Finan, Sean. 2013. Challenges of visually representing rich temporal information of the clinical narrative. Workshop: Exploring Temporal Patterns in Electronic Health Record Data. 30th Annual Human-Computer Interaction Lab Symposium. May 22-23 2013. University of Maryland. http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/eventflow/workshop2013/
  • Finan, Sean. De Groen, Piet. Savova, Guergana. 2014. Narrative Event and Temporal Relation Visualization Tool.
