A natural language understanding system is described to provide generation of concept codes from free-text medical data. A probabilistic model of lexical semantics, is implemented by means of a Bayesian network, and is used to determine the most probable concept or meaning associated with a sentence or phrase. The inventive method and system includes the steps of checking for synonyms, checking spelling, performing syntactic parsing, transforming text to its “deep” or semantic form, and performing a semantic analysis based on a probabilistic model of lexical semantics.

A method for providing information to a clinician regarding a patient's medical problems based upon a combination of the information recorded in the medical record and information omitted from the medical record is described. A patient's medical record is obtained. The medical record may include information regarding the medical conditions experienced by the patient, information from a clinician's observations of treating or testing the patient, and results from tests or therapies administered to the patient. A computer system having a decision support system is used. The decision support system comprises a prediction engine. The decision support system is used to predict conditions or problems omitted from the patient's medical record. These predictions are then provided to the clinician for recording into the medical record.

A natural language understanding system is described which provides for the generation of concept codes from free-text medical data. A probabilistic model of lexical semantics, in the preferred embodiment of the invention implemented by means of a Bayesian network, is used to determine the most probable concept or meaning associated with a sentence or phrase. The inventive method and system includes the steps of checking for synonyms, checking spelling, performing syntactic parsing, transforming text to its "deep" or semantic form, and performing a semantic analysis based on a probabilistic model of lexical semantics. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, spell checking and transformational processing as well as semantic analysis make use of semantic probabilistic determinations.

A method for natural language processing on a computing device is described. The computing device receives a free text document. The computing device parses the free text document for gross structure. The gross structure includes sections, paragraphs and sentences. The computing device determines an application of at least one knowledge base. The free text document is parsed for fine structure on the computing device. The fine structure includes sub-sentences. The computing device applies the parsed document and at least one likelihood vector to a Bayesian network. The computing device outputs meanings and probabilities.
