ITRI-02-04 PILLS: Multilingual generation of medical information documents with overlapping content
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the pharmaceutical industry, products have to be described by a range of document types with overlapping content. Moreover, much of this documentation has to be produced in many languages. This situation is commonplace in many commercial domains, and leads to well-known problems in maintaining a set of related documents and their translations. We describe a potential solution explored in the PILLS project. All relevant knowledge about a product is entered only once, through a natural-language interface to a knowledge base. From this ‘master model’, specialised models for a range of document types are derived automatically; from each specialised model, documents are generated automatically in all supported languages. As an illustration of this approach, the PILLS demonstrator generates three medical document types in English, German and French.

We present a study of the mappings from semantic content to a range of syntactic expressions with the aim of isolating the precise locus and role of pragmatic information in the text generation process. From a corpus of English, French, and Portuguese instructions for consumer products, we demonstrate the range of expressions of two semantic relations, Generation and Enablement [Goldman1970] in...
متن کاملPILLS: A Multilingual Authoring System for Patient Information
Background. The creation and management of content in multiple languages is a significant challenge for the pharmaceutical industry. The system we demonstrate (PILLS = Patient Information Language Localization System) is designed to allow (monolingual) technical authors to generate patient information leaflets in multiple languages [1]. Architecture. Domain knowledge is stored in a knowledge ba...
