Learning to Summarize Radiology Findings
Table 2: Radiologist evaluation result on 100 sampled test examples. For a total of 67 examples, the radiologist indicated that the system summary is at least as good as the human-written summary.
['Category', 'Percentage']
For 51 examples, the radiologist indicated that the human-written and system-generated summaries are equivalent. For 16 examples, the radiologist preferred the system summary, and for the remaining 33 examples, the radiologist preferred the human-written summary. Note that under our setting, a randomly generated sequence would have almost zero chance to be indicated as good as the human-written summary. We therefore believe the result suggests significant clinical validity of our system.
