Development of an Automatic Coding System for Digestive Endoscopies. Stud Health Technol Inform. 2018;255:107-111 Authors: Ternois I, Escudie JB, Benamouzig R, Duclos C Abstract Digestive endoscopies, along with all medical procedures in France are coded with the CCAM. This task is done by the physicians, is time-consuming and requires a good knowledge of the terminology besides a medical knowledge. This method offers an automatic coding of endoscopic procedures from free-text reports. Thanks to a supervised learning method, the reports are coded with an average precision and recall of 0.92 on a 1639 texts corpus. PMID: 30306917 [PubMed - in process]
