Verification of Extracted Data
Facts are extracted from speech and recorded in a document using codings. Each coding represents an extracted fact and includes a code and a datum. The code may represent a type of the extracted fact and the datum may represent a value of the extracted fact. The datum in a coding is rendered based on a specified feature of the coding. For example, the datum may be rendered as boldface text to indicate that the coding has been designated as an “allergy.” In this way, the specified feature of the coding (e.g., “allergy”-ness) is used to modify the manner in which the datum is rendered. A user inspects the rendering and provides, based on the rendering, an indication of whether the coding was accurately designated as having the specified feature. A record of the user's indication may be stored, such as within the coding itself.
1 . A method performed by at least one computer processor executing computer program instructions tangibly stored on at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium, the method comprising:
(A) identifying a document including a first coding having a first feature encoding a first concept, the first coding being associated with a first code;
(B) associating first data with the first coding, the first data representing information that does not have a correspondence with the document;
(C) rendering the first coding and the first data on an output device to have a visual characteristic that is based on the first feature, without rendering the first code;
(D) receiving, via an input device, a first indication from a user of whether the rendering is accurate;
(E) identifying, based on the first indication received from the user, a verification status of the first coding, wherein the verification status of the first coding indicates whether the first code represents the first concept, comprising:
(E)(1) if the first indication indicates that the rendering is accurate, then identifying a verification status of the first coding indicating that the first coding is accurate; and
(E)(2) otherwise, identifying a verification status of the first coding indicating that the first coding is inaccurate; and
(F) if the verification status of the first coding indicates that the first coding is inaccurate, then modifying at least one of the first feature of the first coding and the first data.
