Abstract

BACKGROUND: A large collection of dialogues between patients and doctors must be annotated for medical named entities to build intelligence for telemedicine. However, since most patients involved in telemedicine deliver related named entities in informal and long multiword expressions, it is challenging to tag their telemedicine dialogue data. This study aims to address this issue.
