Extraction and Processing of Rich Semantics from Medical Texts
نویسندگان
چکیده
Important information is captured in medical documents. To make use of this information and intepret the semantics, technologies are required for extracting, analysing and interpreting it. As a result, rich semantics including relations among events, subjectivity or polarity of events, become available. The First Workshop on Extraction and Processing of Rich Semantics from Medical Texts, is devoted to the technologies for dealing with clinical documents for medical information gathering and application in knowledge based systems. New approaches for identifying and analysing rich semantics are presented. In this paper, we introduce the topic and summarize the workshop contributions.

متن کاملAnswering Questions Using Advanced Semantics And Probabilistic Inference
In this paper we argue that access to rich semantic structures derived from questions and answers will enable both the retrieval of more accurate answers to simple questions and enable inference processes that explain the validity and contextual coverage of answers to complex questions. Processing complex questions involves the identifications of several forms of complex semantic structures. An...

In the context of the debate between statistical and symbolic approaches to Natural Language Processing and of the obvious advantage in combining the two types of methods, this paper reviews the advantages and disadvantages of performing a complete syntactic analysis in order to extract information from texts. It is argued that, while what is needed for the purpose of information extraction and...
