A Corpus for Evidence Based Medicine Summarisation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we motivate the need for a corpus for the development and testing of summarisation systems for evidencebased medicine. We describe the corpus which we are currently creating, and show its applicability by evaluating several simple query-based summarisation techniques using a small fragment of the corpus.

Development of a Corpus for Evidence Based Medicine Summarisation
In this paper we introduce some of the key NLP-related problems related to the practice of Evidence Based Medicine and propose the task of multi-document query-focused summarisation as a key approach to solve these problems. We have completed a corpus for the development of such multi-document queryfocused summarisation task. The process to build the corpus combined the use of automated extract...
متن کاملAn Approach for Query-Focused Text Summarisation for Evidence Based Medicine
We present an approach for extractive, query-focused, singledocument summarisation of medical text. Our approach utilises a combination of target-sentence-specific and target-sentence-independent statistics derived from a corpus specialised for summarisation in the medical domain. We incorporate domain knowledge via the application of multiple domain-specific features, and we customise the answ...
متن کاملTowards Two-step Multi-document Summarisation for Evidence Based Medicine: A Quantitative Analysis
We perform a quantitative analysis of data in a corpus that specialises on summarisation for Evidence Based Medicine (EBM). The intent of the analysis is to discover possible directions for performing automatic evidence-based summarisation. Our analysis attempts to ascertain the extent to which good, evidence-based, multidocument summaries can be obtained from individual single-document summari...
متن کاملAutomated text summarisation and evidence-based medicine: A survey of two domains
The practice of evidence-based medicine (EBM) urges medical practitioners to utilise the latest research evidence when making clinical decisions. Because of the massive and growing volume of published research on various medical topics, practitioners often find themselves overloaded with information. As such, natural language processing research has recently commenced exploring techniques for p...
متن کاملClustering of Medical Publications for Evidence Based Medicine Summarisation
We present a study of the clustering properties of medical publications for the aim of Evidence Based Medicine summarisation. Given a dataset of documents that have been manually assigned to groups related to clinical answers, we apply K-Means clustering and verify that the documents can be clustered reasonably well. We advance the implications of such clustering for natural language processing...
