International Journal of Healthcare Technology and Management (IJHTM), Vol. 1, No. 3/4, 1999

Abstract: A method is presented to classify pathology reports that were composed in natural language.

This paper describes the underlying theoretical aspects of the nearest neighbour method that was used, gives considerations for practical use, and presents the results of two studies on the method.
