title: Dutch medical language processing: discussion of a prototype.
abstract: This paper discusses a medical language processor for Dutch (DMLP). The DMLP forms part of the results of a joint project sponsored by the European Commission, which aims at the intelligent extraction and processing of information of patient discharge summaries. We will focus more specifically on the natural language processing aspects for Dutch which are treated by the K.U. Leuven team.
