title: GenIE: an intelligent system for writing genetic counseling patient letters.
abstract: We are developing GenIE, a prototype intelligent system to create first drafts of genetic counseling patient letters. GenIE will apply natural language generation techniques to construct the first draft of a letter for subsequent review and editing, if needed, by the genetic counselor. For purposes of knowledge acquisition, we have been analyzing a corpus of patient letters. Based on the corpus analysis we are developing a knowledge base and text generation strategies.
