Generating SOAP Notes from Doctor-Patient Conversations
Table 5: Fraction of novel N-grams in the ground truth SOAP note and the outputs of different algorithms with respect to the corresponding conversation
['N', '1', '2', '3', '5', '7', '10']
The SOAP notes produced by Algorithm LABEL: algo:task1 had a lower fraction of novel ngrams (i.e. ngrams that do not occur in the input conversation) compared to Algorithm LABEL: algo:task4 and hence this result suggests that Algorithm LABEL: algo: task4 produces more abstractive summaries than Algorithm LABEL: algo:task1 which has a higher tendency to copy sequences of words as-is from the conversation.
