Using the UMLS and the SNOMED-CT ontology we identified *hard* positive term pairs by
* making random pairs of descriptions of the same medical concept identifier

and *soft* positive term pairs by
* using the known positive relationships between CUIs

As future work we want to expand the positives using e.g. paraphrasing and context selection from existing clinical documents (like KRISSBERT).
