Prior to this project, it was generally considered in the NLP field that biomedical text are domain-specific and will require a certain degree of tool adaptation from the generic-domain to be of use. Muscorian refuted this assumption by demonstrating that an un-adapted generic text processor can perform comparably to adapted tools. At the same time, the un-adapted text processor forms the generalized layer to transform unstructured text into a structured table of subject-verb-object on which question-specific tools can be built. This study also demonstrates the flexibility of this generalization-specialization paradigm by using the same generalized layer for 2 specialized questions.
