Summarising Complex ICU Data in Natural Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
It has been shown that summarizing complex multi-channel physiological and discrete data in natural language (text) can lead to better decision-making in the intensive care unit (ICU). As part of the BabyTalk project, we describe a prototype system (BT-45) which can generate such textual summaries automatically. Although these summaries are not yet as good as those generated by human experts, we have demonstrated experimentally that they lead to as good decision-making as can be achieved through presenting the same data graphically.

Summarising complex ICU data in natural language: demonstration of the BT-45 system.
As ICUs generate increasing amounts of information, writing medical reports involves complex time-consuming reasoning to build a coherent text which will be meaningful to those who will use it for decision making (e.g.: for nurse handover). Moreover, it has been shown that summarizing complex multi-channel physiological and discrete data in natural language (text) can lead to better decision-ma...
متن کاملA New Architecture for Summarising Time Series Data
This paper presents a new architecture for summarising complex time series data, in which four main components together with a knowledge base and a database are integrated. Based on the architecture, a knowledge-based text generation system has been implemented and its main functions are briefly explained in the context of a sample of data. Evaluation of the system has been done and some conclu...
متن کاملTextually Summarising Incomplete Data
Many data-to-text NLG systems work with data sets which are incomplete, ie some of the data is missing. We have worked with data journalists to understand how they describe incomplete data, and are building NLG algorithms based on these insights. A pilot evaluation showed mixed results, and highlighted several areas where we need to improve our system.
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of Textual Summaries from Neonatal Intensive Care Data
Effective presentation of data for decision support is a major issue when large volumes of data are generated as happens in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Although the most common approach is to present the data graphically, it has been shown that textual summarisation can lead to improved decision making. As part of the BabyTalk project, we present a prototype, called BT-45, which generates te...
متن کاملUsing Spatial Reference Frames to Generate Grounded Textual Summaries of Georeferenced Data
Summarising georeferenced (can be identified according to it’s location) data in natural language is challenging because it requires linking events describing its nongeographic attributes to their underlying geography. This mapping is not straightforward as often the only explicit geographic information such data contains is latitude and longitude. In this paper we present an approach to genera...
