چکیده

We describe experiments with building a recognizer for disease names in Bulgarian clinical epicrises, where both the language and the domain are different from those in mainstream research, which has focused on PubMed articles in English. We show that using a general framework such as GATE and an appropriate pragmatic methodology can yield significant speed up of the manual annotation: we achieve F1=0.81 in just three days. This is the first step towards our ultimate goal: named entity normalization with respect to ICD-10.
