目的：本文的目的是调查医学文献摘要方面的最新工作。背景：在过去的十年中，文献摘要越来越受到人工智能研究界的关注。最近，它也引起了医学研究界的兴趣，因为通过大量且不断增长的出版期刊、会议记录、万维网上的医疗网站和门户网站、电子病历等，医生和医学研究人员可以获得的信息大量增长。方法论：这项调查首先给出了文献摘要的一般背景，介绍了摘要所依赖的因素，讨论了评估问题并简要描述了各种类型的摘要技术。然后，它通过不同类型的医疗文档来检查医疗领域的特征。最后，介绍并讨论了迄今为止在医学领域使用的摘要技术，并参考了相应的系统及其特点。讨论与结论：本文深入讨论了医学文档摘要未来研究的有前景的路径。它主要关注各种语言和不同媒体的大量文档的扩展问题、个性化问题、新子领域的可移植性以及摘要技术在实际应用中的集成。 (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Objective: The aim of this paper is to survey the recent work in medical documents summarization.Background: During the last decade, documents summarization got increasing attention by the Al research community. More recently it also attracted the interest of the medical research community as well, due to the enormous growth of information that is available to the physicians and researchers in medicine, through the large and growing number of published journals, conference proceedings, medical sites and portals on the World Wide Web, electronic medical records, etc.Methodology: This survey gives first a general background on documents summarization, presenting the factors that summarization depends upon, discussing evaluation issues and describing briefly the various types of summarization techniques. It then examines the characteristics of the medical domain through the different types of medical documents. Finally, it presents and discusses the summarization techniques used so far in the medical domain, referring to the corresponding systems and their characteristics.Discussion and conclusions: The paper discusses thoroughly the promising paths for future research in medical documents summarization. It mainly focuses on the issue of scaling to large collections of documents in various Languages and from different media, on personalization issues, on portability to new sub-domains, and on the integration of summarization technology in practical applications.
