AUTOMATED DATA PROCESSING OF MEDICAL LANGUAGE

该项目的主要目标是开发方法 用于自然医学语言的自动处理。这 涉及分析算法的开发和 自然文本的表示和计算机词典的创建 和其他医学专业的数据库，如外科 病理学。 医学语言学的研究继续发展成一种 约束高阶谓词演算的定理证明器 通过与相关性/蕴涵逻辑相关联的假设，作为 在基于中心特征的语法形式主义中进行分析的工具。 继续在临床信息实用程序方面进行合作， 病理实验室，NCI/DCBD/LP，与DCRT/DMB，在 使用LSM的自动编码系统来维护和改进 临床中心手术病理报告数据库。 从文字处理机过渡到临床中心管理信息系统 手术病理报告的制作工作已接近完成。 词典编纂环境软件的开发仍在继续，但 以较慢的速度。这是为了提供医疗服务 词典编纂者和医学语言研究人员 用于检查数据和检验假设的综合工具，如 以及用于构建语义和句法特征的 医学词典。

The major objective of the project is the development of methods for the automatic processing of natural medical language. This involves both development of algorithms for parsing and representing natural text, and creation of computer dictionaries and other data bases for medical specialties such as surgical pathology. Research in medical linguistics continued on the development of a theorem prover for a higher order predicate calculus, constrained by assumptions associated with relevance/entailment logic, as a vehicle for parsing in a head-feature based grammar formalism. Collaboration continued on the Clinical Information Utility with the Laboratory of Pathology, NCI/DCBD/LP, and with DCRT/DMB, in using LSM's automatic encoding system to maintain and improve the data base of Clinical Center surgical pathology reports. Transition from word processors to the Clinical Center MIS for producing the surgical pathology reports is near completion. Development of the Lexicographic Environment Software continued but at a reduced pace. This is designed to provide medical lexicographers and medical language researchers with a comprehensive tool for examining data and testing hypotheses, as well as for constructing both semantic and syntactic features of medical dictionaries.
