Abstract:

In at least one embodiment, an automated medical data machine learning system and method allow a natural language processing (“NLP”) system to automatically learn via, for example, feedback to improve ongoing performance of the natural language processing system. The particular technology for improving the interpretation by the NLP system of future input data is a matter of design choice. In at least one embodiment, the automated medical data learning system and method includes a linguistics module that determines the part of speech of a particular term or term, such as use as a noun or verb. In at least one embodiment, the system and method learns an interpretation based on a source of the input data. In at least one embodiment, the system and method includes a statistics module that allows the system and method to determine a most probable interpretation or multiple interpretations.
