Abstract

Modern medicine emphasizes interpretability and requires doctors to give reasonable, well-founded and convincing diagnostic results when diagnosing patients. Therefore, there are a large number of causal correlations in medical concepts such as symptoms, diagnosis and treatment in the text of the results of the inquiry. Explanation of relationships, and mining these relationships from text is of great help in improving the accuracy and interpretability of medical search results. Based on this, this paper constructs a new medical causality extraction dataset CMedCausal (Chinese Medical Causal dataset) and it is used in the CHIP2022 shared task, which defines three key types of medical causal relationships: causal relationship, conditional relationship, and hypothetical relationship. It consists of 9,153 medical texts with a total of 79,244 entity relationships annotated. Participants need to correctly label these correct reasoning relationships and corresponding subject-object entities. A total of 49 teams submitted results for the preliminary round with the highest Macro-F1 value of 0.4510. A total of 25 teams submitted results for final round with the highest Macro-F1 value of 0.4416.
