Abstract

BACKGROUND: Urologic research often requires data abstraction from unstructured text contained within the electronic health record. A number of natural language processing (NLP) tools have been developed to aid with this time-consuming task; however, the generalizability of these tools is typically limited by the need for task-specific training.
