Abstract
BACKGROUND: Symptom phrase recognition is essential to improve the use of unstructured medical consultation corpora for the development of automated question answering systems. A majority of previous works typically require enough manually annotated training data or as complete a symptom dictionary as possible. However, when applied to real scenarios, they will face a dilemma due to the scarcity of the annotated textual resources and the diversity of the spoken language expressions.
