Cognitive building of medical condition base cartridges based on gradings of positional statements

Abstract:

Mechanisms are provided that generate a knowledge data structure for a medical condition. The mechanisms parse a natural language positional statement data structure representing a natural language positional statement corresponding to a medical condition, where the natural language positional statement specifies guidance information and patient attributes indicative of patients for which an action may be performed for the medical condition. The mechanisms extract the patient attributes and a grading value associated with the natural language positional statement. The mechanisms generate at least one weight value associated with each of the patient attributes based on the grading value. The mechanisms provide the knowledge data structure, based on the extracted one or more patient attributes and the at least one weight value in association with an identifier of the action and an identifier of the medical condition, to a cognitive system that performs a cognitive operation based on the knowledge data structure.
