From Natural Language to Formal Language: when MultiTALE meets GALEN
Werner M Ceusters, Peter Spyns, Georges De Moor · Studies in health technology and informatics · 1997
In the GALEN project, the syntactic-semantic tagger MultiTALE is upgraded to extract knowledge from natural language surgical procedure expressions. In this paper, we describe the methodology applied and show that out of a randomly selected sample of such expressions, 81% could be analysed correctly. The problems encountered are summarised and areas of further investigation identified.
