Discussion: Improve the Contextual Matcher

[aricohen93]

Draft

Starting example:

When looking for ADICAP codes, some notes showed multiples codes:

"adicap : OHGSA7B1, OHGSA7B3"

Using he ContextualMatcher as of today, only the last code will be retrieved.

Proposition

Maybe a replace option in the assing dictionary might be useful:

• One assign key can have the replace option.
• In this case, those assigned spans will become the new entity.ies
• Other assigned value will be "transfered" to those entities. We might see the case were multiple assign values (from the same key) have to be transfered. In this case:
  • Either all values are transfered as a list
  • Or a single one is transfered (controlled via a parameter like reduce_mode)

Examples

"Le patient a un diabète insulinorequérent de type I et II"

No replace, no expand, reduce_mode=None

replace	expand	reduce_mode
False	False	False

| Entity | Assign value | |diabète| type=[I, II] |
