MEDSYNDIKATE is a natural language processor, which automatically acquires medical information from findings reports. In the course of text analysis their contents is transferred to conceptual representation structures, which constitute a corresponding text knowledge base. MEDSYNDIKATE is particularly adapted to deal properly with text structures, such as various forms of anaphoric reference relations spanning several sentences. The strong demands MEDSYNDIKATE poses on the availability of expressive knowledge sources are accounted for by two alternative approaches to acquire medical domain knowledge (semi)automatically. We also present data for the information extraction performance of MEDSYNDIKATE in terms of the semantic interpretation of three major syntactic patterns in medical documents.
MEDSYNDIKATE是一种自然语言处理器，它能从检查报告中自动获取医学信息。在文本分析过程中，其内容会被转换为概念表示结构，这些结构构成了相应的文本知识库。MEDSYNDIKATE特别适合处理文本结构，比如跨越多个句子的各种指代关系形式。MEDSYNDIKATE对丰富的知识源可用性提出的强烈要求，可通过两种半自动获取医学领域知识的替代方法来满足。我们还展示了MEDSYNDIKATE在医学文档中三种主要句法模式语义解释方面的信息提取性能数据。
