Results (P = weighted precision, R = recall, top ten) of the best semantic spaces and ensembles on the three tasks. The results are based on the clinical + medical evaluation set and are grouped according to the number of semantic spaces employed: one, two or four. The disjoint corpus ensemble is performed with and without post-processing. A dynamic cut-off allows less than ten terms to be suggested in an attempt to improve precision. Results for tests of statistical significance are shown in Table 11.
