Development Institution The institution that provides training data for BCD development IH, UPMC
Development Parser The parser that is used to extract training findings for BCD development IH parser, UPMC parser
Application Institution The institution where a developed BCD is applied IH, UPMC
Application Parser The parser that is used to extract findings when applying a BCD to the application institution IH parser, UPMC parser
NLP Transfer The condition of whether a parser has been developed locally or not: if a parser has been developed in another institution, then the parser is transferred. Otherwise, the parser is not transferred. Yes, No
BN Transfer The condition of whether a Bayesian network has been developed locally or not: if a Bayesian network had been developed in another institution, then it is transferred. Otherwise, it is not transferred. Yes, No
