摘要

*背景：*深度学习在自动文本摘要方面比较传统的有比较大优势，可是在医学文本方面，还未有研究。【Automatic text summarization (ATS)】

*目的：*传统方法带来的基础问题例如捕捉临床上下文，证据质量，对于摘要的文本目标的段落选择。围绕这些问题提出准确的，简明的，一致的信息抽取。

*方法：*提了一个框架： Biomed-Summarizer 。基于质量感知的病人/问题（Patient/Problem），干预（Intervention），比较（Comparison）和结果（Outcome ）(PICO)的智能和上下文支持的总结生物医学文本。

第一步，开发一个二类分类器。用作质量识别，过滤掉质量不好的科学研究；

第二步，开发一个Bi-LSTM作为下下文的感知分类器。用作为PICO句子的识别；

第三步，语义相似器。使用Jaccard相似来计算query与PICO文本表达序列近似值，这里加入了丰富的医学本体语义；

*第四步：*最后从高分PICO中生成摘要表达；

结果：

1. 识别质量：95.41% (2562/2686)；

2. 分类（5类【 aim, population, intervention, results, outcome】）：93% (16127/17341) ；

3. 语义相似度算法，相对于基线提升了8.9%；

4. 生成的摘要，经过三个专家从不同维度去估计，获得比较高的正相关结果，表明自动摘要系统是令人满意的。

结论：通过应用提出的Biomed-Summarizer，在ATS上获得高精度，使生物医学文献的研究证据的无缝管理能够用于临床决策。

整体框架

主要分成四个部分：

1. data preprocessing

2.quality recognition

3.contextual text classification

4.text summarization

流程（案例）

数据预测处理

预后质量识别模型

Prognosis quality recognition (PQR) model

5个特征：two data features (title and abstract)，three metadata features (article type, publishing journal, authors).

CCA分类模型

对于CCA分类模型：主要是对pico进行分类；

ATS评分

Automatic text summarization

基于多特征矩阵的句子评分机制来来实现句子抽取。

Relevance score

Jaccard similarity metric: Jaccard similarity with semantic enrichments (JS2E)

semantic enrichment : biomedical ontologies(SNOMED CT, MedDRA, NBO, NIFSTD)

步骤：

step 1, 清洗query句子；

step2, 使用BioPortal进行对句子标注；

step3, 每个token通过使用本体中“definition,” “synonyms,” and “prefLabel”来丰富语义；

step4, to retrieve the annotations of text;

step5, 构建metatokens数据结构；

step6, 计算相似值；

Study Type

研究类型在临床上办演着重要的角色。这个经过专业人员的打分。

Venue Credibility

这个经过专业人员的打分。

Freshness

Text Selection for Summary

(1) PICO-based summary;

对于PICO每部分选择topK的文本；采用这些句子来构建摘要；

(2) non-PICO-based summary,没有考虑句子分类，直接是topk.

Example Case

输入：“How does family history affect rupture probability in intracranial aneurysms; is it a significant factor?“ – 摘要查询：颅内动脉瘤家族史

第一，查询提取；

第二，PubMed search service； – 搜索返回239 studies， 130预后研究；

第三，130篇预后研究经这PQM进行对质量过滤；

第四，PICO 分类模型；Aim (32), Patients (9), Intervention (1), Results (168), and Outcome (49).

第五，计算语义相似度；

第六，分数进行组合，并进行排序；

第七，生成摘要；

结论

这是一篇比较全的系统文章，主要是一个深度机器学习的应用。对于以后设计一个医学摘要系统时，要参考这几块的内容。

生物医学领域的ATS

Summarization分为两类：abstractive（抽象式），extractive（抽取式）
