Abstract | This paper discusses an important issue in computational linguistics: classifying sets of medical documents into formal or informal style. This might be important for patient safety. Formal documents are more likely to have been published by medical authorities; therefore, the patients could trust them more than they can trust informal documents. We used machine learning techniques in order to automatically classify documents into formal and informal style. |
