Clinical Context-Aware Biomedical Text Summarization Using Deep Neural Network: Model Development and Validation.

Journal: Journal of medical Internet research

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Automatic text summarization (ATS) enables users to retrieve meaningful evidence from big data of biomedical repositories to make complex clinical decisions. Deep neural and recurrent networks outperform traditional machine-learning techniques in areas of natural language processing and computer vision; however, they are yet to be explored in the ATS domain, particularly for medical text summarization.
