Automatic construction of dictionaries, application to product characteristics indexing.
Summary of Product Characteristics (SPC) indexing enables to extract all the information needed to analyze a prescription and find some inappropriate medications. We evaluate a French Multi-Terminology Indexer tool (F-MTI) for SPC automatic indexing. This tool uses a dictionary containing the textual forms that are likely to appear in natural language text for the drug clinical particular terms contained in the Vidal thesaurus (TUV). We developed a method to automatically generate this dictionary. The evaluation showed a precision of 52.9% and a recall of 46.2%. F-MTI will be integrated in a semi-automatic indexing tool.
