چکیده

English. We address the problem of recognition of medical entities in clinical records written in Italian. We report on experiments performed on medical data in English provided in the shared tasks at CLEF-ER 2013 and SemEval 2014. This allowed us to refine Named Entity recognition techniques to deal with the specifics of medical and clinical language in particular. We present two approaches for transferring the techniques to Italian. One solution relies on the creation of an Italian corpus of annotated clinical records and the other on adapting existing linguistic tools to the medical domain. Italiano. Questo lavoro affronta il problema del riconoscimento di entità mediche in referti medici in lingua italiana. Riferiamo su degli esperimenti svolti su testi medici in inglese forniti nei task di CLEF-ER 2013 e SemEval 2014. Questi ci hanno consentito di raffinare le tecniche di Named Entity recognition per trattare le specificità del linguaggio medico e in particolare quello dei referti clinici. Presentiamo due approcci al trasferimento di queste tecniche all’italiano. Una soluzione consiste nella creazione di un corpus di referti medici in italiano annotato con entità mediche e l’altro nell’adattare strumenti tradizionali per l’analisi linguistica al dominio medico.
