1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

objectiveIn this paper, we focus on three aspects: (1) to annotate a set of standard corpus in Chinese discharge summaries; (2) to perform word segmentation and named entity recognition in the above corpus; (3) to build a joint model that performs word segmentation and named entity recognition.

designTwo independent systems of word segmentation and named entity recognition were built based on conditional random field models. In the field of natural language processing, while most approaches use a single model to predict outputs, many works have proved that performance of many tasks can be improved by exploiting combined techniques. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a joint model using dual decomposition to perform both the two tasks in order to exploit correlations between the two tasks. Three sets of features were designed to demonstrate the advantage of the joint model we proposed, compared with independent models, incremental models and a joint model trained on combined labels. MEASUREMENTS: Micro-averaged precision (P), recall (R), and F-measure (F) were used to evaluate results.

resultsThe gold standard corpus is created using 336 Chinese discharge summaries of 71 355 words. The framework using dual decomposition achieved 0.2% improvement for segmentation and 1% improvement for recognition, compared with each of the two tasks alone.

conclusionsThe joint model is efficient and effective in both segmentation and recognition compared with the two individual tasks. The model achieved encouraging results, demonstrating the feasibility of the two tasks.
