Abstract

BACKGROUND: Extracting principal diagnosis from patient discharge summaries is an essential task for the meaningful use of medical data. The extraction process, usually by medical staff, is laborious and time-consuming. Although automatic models have been proposed to retrieve principal diagnoses from medical records, many rare diagnoses and a small amount of training data per rare diagnosis provide significant statistical and computational challenges.
