summaryTranslational research in biomedicine is concerned with "translating" the results of laboratory research into clinical practice. This talk describes "translation" of results from natural language processing in the biological domain to the clinical domain.  It will be shown that it is not a given that such results should be translatable at all; that corpus-based approaches to understanding the syntax/semantics interface in biological language are applicable to clinical language; and that an approach to information extraction that was developed for scientific literature can work for clinical text. Short bio: Kevin Bretonnel Cohen leads the Biomedical Text Mining Group at the University of Colorado School of Medicine and is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Colorado.  His work deals with a wide variety of topics, ranging from biomedical natural language processing to the computational phonology of the Kukú language.
