Abstract
With millions people discussing their Personal Health Information (PHI) online, there is a need for the development of tools that can extract and analyze such information. We introduce two semantic-based methods for mining PHI. One method uses WordNet as a source of health-related knowledge, another - terms of personal relations. Incorporating semantics gives a significant improvement in retrieval of text with PHI (paired t-test, P = 0.0001).
