Unsupervised Pseudo-Labeling for Extractive Summarization on Electronic Health Records

20 Nov 2018  ·  Xiangan Liu, Keyang Xu, Pengtao Xie, Eric Xing ·

Extractive summarization is very useful for physicians to better manage and digest Electronic Health Records (EHRs). However, the training of a supervised model requires disease-specific medical background and is thus very expensive. We studied how to utilize the intrinsic correlation between multiple EHRs to generate pseudo-labels and train a supervised model with no external annotation. Experiments on real-patient data validate that our model is effective in summarizing crucial disease-specific information for patients.
