Laburpena

Este artículo presenta el primer trabajo sobre la corrección gramatical de textos clínicos en español. En este trabajo, presentamos un conjunto de experimentos basados en redes neuronales y aumentación de datos, en los cuales conseguimos una puntuación de 70,89 F0,5. Además, se presentan dos corpus creados para esta tarea: el corpus IMEC, un corpus médico corregido manualmente, y el corpus TMAE, un corpus de textos clínicos aumentado con errores.
