Welcome to PyUMLS-Similarity’s Documentation!
PyUMLS-Similarity is a Python package designed for researchers and developers working with medical data and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). It simplifies the process of computing semantic similarity between medical concepts, leveraging a set of sophisticated Perl modules for deep semantic analysis.
PyUMLS-Similarity offers a Pythonic interface to these tools, making it easier to integrate into existing Python projects. It’s particularly useful in fields like Natural Language Processing (NLP), bioinformatics, and healthcare data analysis.
For more detailed information, check out the Usage section. To get started with the package, see Installation.
