In the framework of contextual information retrieval in the biomedical domain, this paper reports on the automatic detection of disease concepts in two genres of biomedical text: sentences from the literature and PubMed user queries. A statistical model and a Natural Language Processing algorithm for disease recognition were applied on both corpora. While both methods show good performance (F=77% vs. F=76%) on the sentence corpus, results on the query corpus indicate that the statistical model is more robust (F=74% vs. F=70%).
