Identifying translational science through embeddings of controlled vocabularies.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Translational science aims at "translating" basic scientific discoveries into clinical applications. The identification of translational science has practicality such as evaluating the effectiveness of investments made into large programs like the Clinical and Translational Science Awards. Despite several proposed methods that group publications-the primary unit of research output-into some categories, we still lack a quantitative way to place articles onto the full, continuous spectrum from basic research to clinical medicine.

Materials and methods

I learn vector representations of controlled vocabularies assigned to Medline articles to obtain a translational axis that points from basic science to clinical medicine. The projected position of a term on the translat
