Title
Using the Conceptual Graph Operations for Natural Language Generation in Medicine
Abstract
Natural language generation systems for the medical domain have to take into account the specific domain vocabulary as well as the particular language style of a highly conventionalised language. This is particularily relevant for multilingual generation. We have developed a system for multilingual natural language generation in medicine, based on the Conceptual Graphs formalism and using a semantic model of medicine. The latter is being developed as part of the European project GALEN and it intends to be a language-independent, semantically valid model of clinical terminology. Within the system we make intensive use of the operations defined in the Conceptual Graphs formalism in order to deal with the specific requirements of the medical language, multilinguality and the specific modelling style encountered within the GALEN-model. The approach has been applied to several languages, with a main focus on English and French. It has also been used within a clinical demonstrator application.
