Abstract

This paper presents the results of testing two approaches in the automatic semantic labeling of medical data. For a chosen domain (diabetic patients' discharge records) a set of domain related concepts was identified. The annotated resource is the result of a rule based application, that relies on the results of two related rule based information extraction (IE) systems, post processed in a way that makes the label structures simpler, and the boundaries of annotations more precise. The second application is a machine learning (CRF) approach in which the results of the first application are used as training data. Both applications were evaluated by comparing to manually corrected documents.
