Generating summaries of hospitalizations: A new metric to assess the complexity of medical terms and their definitions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our system generates summaries of hospital stays by combining information from two heterogenous sources: physician discharge notes and nursing plans of care. It extracts medical concepts from both sources; concepts that are identified as “complex” by our metric are explained by providing definitions obtained from three external knowledge sources. Finally, relevant concepts (with or without definition) are realized by SimpleNLG.

Improving Success Ratio in Multi-Constraint Quality of Service Routing
Multi-constraint quality-of-service routing will become increasingly important as the Internet evolves to support real-time services. It is well known however, that optimum multi-constraint QoS routing is computationally complex, and for this reason various heuristics have been proposed for routing in practical situations. Among these methods, those that use a single mixed metric are the mo...
متن کاملA suggested Motivational Method for Teaching Scientific Terminology, With a Practical Example
Using a reductionist approach, the motivational method for teaching scientific terminology aims at breaking down terms and their definitions into separate components, i.e. morphemes and their semantic features, rather than establishing a connection between terms and their definitions as holistic units. In other words, the ultimate goal of this method is achieving “semantic motivation,” (as oppo...
متن کاملThe New Definitions for the Power Terms in Distorted and Unbalanced Conditions and Calculation of these Terms for an Electric Arc Furnace
The rapid increase of non-linear loads in the last three decades has caused electrical quantities such as voltages and currents in 3-phase distribution systems to become distorted waveforms. This paper reviews, explains and discusses some new concepts, definitions and new available theory in the unbalanced and distorted systems. The usefulness of the proposed practical definitions is investigat...
