Tagging medical texts: a rule-based experiment.
Patrick Ruch, Pierrette Bouillon, Geneviève Robert, Robert H Baud, A M Rassinoux · PubMed · 2000
In this paper we describe the construction of a part-of-speech tagger for medical document retrieval purposes, therefore we have designed a specific architecture called minimal commitment. The system uses local grammatical rules for conducting the disambiguation task. Four evaluations are conducted, with and without taking unknown words into account. In between each evaluation the modules (lexicon, guesser, rules) of the system are incrementally improved.
