Automated analysis of medical text. II. Cognitive strategy.
In a previous paper, the authors described three paradigms applicable to automated medical text analysis. In this paper, the relative importance of the three paradigms is discussed, viz. the relative value of the linguistic word categorization, the semantic paradigm, and the medical fact delineation. The strategy adopted was to limit the linguistic disambiguation and apply probabilistic rules, in order to speed up the analytic process.
