Abstract:
We report on a syntactic parser for medical reports which uses a genetic algorithm to efficiently identify the highest ranking parse configuration based on a scoring scheme developed as part of our prior work. The approach was tested on a set of 250 sentences from the domain of radiology. Performance time and comparison to exhaustive methods are given.
