N2 - The purpose of the Multi-TALE syntactic-semantic tagger is to identify surgical procedure expressions in full text reports, and to assign semantic tags to its composing elements according to the CEN/TC251/PT002S prestandard. Ten English reports - 5 from the original training sample and 5 from a testing sample - have been used for validation. In total 2139 syntactic units (to be mapped into 6 categories) and 857 semantic-contextual entities (to be mapped into 8 categories) were to be retrieved. Information recall (I-R) and information precision (I-P) were measured for both samples. I-R and I-P for the syntactic units were respectively 93.3% and 94.4% for the training sample, and 95.7% versus 95.7% for the testing sample. I-R and I-P for the semantic tags were respectively 91.3% and 92.0% versus 89.3% and 94.8%.
