Summarizing Neonatal Time Series Data

We describe our investigations in generating textual summaries of physiological time series data to aid medical personnel in monitoring babies in neonatal intensive care units. Our studies suggest that summarization is a communicative task that requires data analysis techniques for determining the content of the summary. We describe a prototype system that summarizes physiological time series.
