[edit] Summary
- System Name: SUREGEN-2

- URL: http://www.suregen.de
- System Builders: Kraus[1][2]
- Development Period: 2002–ongoing
- Languages: German
- Domain: medical
Description
A system for the generation of medical documents such as findings, surgical reports or referral letters. SUREGEN-2 uses a hybrid approach, combining canned text phrases (with variables) and bottom up generation. It includes- a (simple, though sufficient) surface generator
- a predefined, rudimentary but open ontology for medicine
- mechanisms for conceptual and sentence aggregation
- a mechanism for referring expressions
- a feature for the quite frequent (in medicine) enumerative phrases
- a module for generation based on semantic functions (recurring semantic constellations)
- a simple mechanism for dealing with synonymity, antonymity and cohyponyms, mainly used for aggregation
A standalone demo version of the system is available for download here. The demo requires some facility with Common Lisp. The system will be used within a larger application context and will be in 'part of a larger enterprise which will be in routine use in our hospital by DEC 2002' (Dirk Kraus, email, 4.Nov.02).
