Abstract
A medical information retrieval system comprises a natural language processing system that processes a vocal user query to identify key words and phrases. These key words and phrases are provided to an inferencing engine that provides a set of knowledge-based inferences from medical knowledge sources, based on these key words and phrases. Thereafter, these knowledge-based inferences are provided to an information retrieval engine that retrieves a corresponding plurality of medical articles based on these knowledge-based inferences, and ranks each with respect to the knowledge-based inferences. A summary engine receives the ranked articles and creates a model based on the topical keywords and candidate sentences found in the highly ranked articles. A paraphrase engine processes the candidate sentences to provide a summary response based on a knowledge-based paraphrase model. An audio output device renders the summary report as the response to the user's original vocal query.
