The project consortium welcomes the EU project commissioner Werner Janusch and Najeeb Al-Shorbaji, Director of Knowledge Management and Sharing, WHO, Switzerland, among others to discuss problems and implications of online access to health information.

Khresmoi aims to develop a multi-lingual multi-modal search and access system for biomedical information and documents. Through a combination of the following technologies and approaches the consortium plans to provide better solutions to the problem of accessing high quality medical information:

• Effective automated information extraction from biomedical documents, including improvements using crowd sourcing and active learning, and automated estimation of the level of trust and target user expertise
• Automated analysis and indexing for medical images in 2D (X-Rays), 3D (MRI, CT), and 4D (MRI with a time component)
• Linking information extracted from unstructured or semi-structured biomedical texts and images to structured information in knowledge bases
• Support of cross-language search, including multi-lingual queries, and returning machine-translated pertinent excerpts
• Adaptive user interfaces to assist in formulating queries and display search results via ergonomic and interactive visualizations
