Matching algorithm using the scispacy language models.

Please use file - scispacy_loinc_mapping_algorithm.ipynb for using the matchng algorithm

🧪 LOINC Mapping Pipeline

This project implements a robust pipeline to map lab terms (e.g., "MCH", "heart rate") to their most appropriate LOINC codes, using a combination of:

• ✅ Axis-based matching (COMPONENT, PROPERTY, SYSTEM, METHOD)
• 📊 LOINC's official COMMON_TEST_RANK
• 🧮 Custom composite scoring
• ⚙️ Batch-based processing for large-scale performance
• 🛠️ Hardcoded fallbacks for known ambiguous terms

The algorithm returns the best match candidates for each input term.
