Identifying relevant information in medical conversations to summarize a clinician-patient encounter.

Published in Health informatics journal

To inform the development of automated summarization of clinical conversations, this study sought to estimate the proportion of doctor-patient communication in general practice (GP) consultations used for generating a consultation summary. Two researchers with a medical degree read the transcripts of 44 GP consultations and highlighted the phrases ...

Neural Methods for Sentiment Analysis and Text Summarization

This thesis focuses on two Natural Language Processing tasks that require to extract semantic information from raw texts: Sentiment Analysis and Text Summarization. This dissertation discusses issues and seeks to improve neural models on both tasks, which have become the dominant paradigm in the past several years. Accordingly, this dissertation is...

Automatic summarization of medical conversations, a review

Conversational analysis plays an important role in the development of simulation devices for the training of health professionals (doctors, nurses). Our goal is to develop an original automatic synthesis method for medical conversations between a patient and a healthcare professional, based on recent advances in summarization using convolutional an...

Evaluating Casama: Contextualized semantic maps for summarization of lung cancer studies.

Published in Computers in biology and medicine

It is crucial for clinicians to stay up to date on current literature in order to apply recent evidence to clinical decision making. Automatic summarization systems can help clinicians quickly view an aggregated summary of literature on a topic. Casama, a representation and summarization system based on "contextualized semantic maps," captures the ...

Les enfants souffrant de troubles du langage, comme la dyslexie, rencontrent de grandes difficultés dans l'apprentissage de la lecture et dans toute tâche de lecture, par la suite. Ces difficultés compromettent grandement l'accès au sens des textes auxquels ils sont confrontés durant leur scolarité, ce qui implique des difficultés d'apprentissage e...

INEX Tweet Contextualization Task: Evaluation, Results and Lesson Learned

Microblogging platforms such as Twitter are increasingly used for on-line client and market analysis. This motivated the proposal of a new track at CLEF INEX lab of Tweet Contextualization. The objective of this task was to help a user to understand a tweet by providing him with a short explanatory summary (500 words). This summary should be built ...

Short text contextualization in information retrieval : application to tweet contextualization and automatic query expan...

The efficient communication tends to follow the principle of the least effort. According to this principle, using a given language interlocutors do not want to work any harder than necessary to reach understanding. This fact leads to the extreme compression of texts especially in electronic communication, e.g. microblogs, SMS, search queries. Howev...

Representing and extracting lung cancer study metadata: study objective and study design.

Published in Computers in biology and medicine

This paper describes the information retrieval step in Casama (Contextualized Semantic Maps), a project that summarizes and contextualizes current research papers on driver mutations in non-small cell lung cancer. Casama׳s representation of lung cancer studies aims to capture elements that will assist an end-user in retrieving studies and, importan...
