Using local lexicalized rules to identify heart disease risk factors in clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally and a significant part of the human population lives with it. A number of risk factors have been recognized as contributing to the disease, including obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD), hyperte...

The role of fine-grained annotations in supervised recognition of risk factors for heart disease from EHRs.

Journal of biomedical informatics
This paper describes a supervised machine learning approach for identifying heart disease risk factors in clinical text, and assessing the impact of annotation granularity and quality on the system's ability to recognize these risk factors. We utiliz...

Automatic de-identification of electronic medical records using token-level and character-level conditional random fields.

Journal of biomedical informatics
De-identification, identifying and removing all protected health information (PHI) present in clinical data including electronic medical records (EMRs), is a critical step in making clinical data publicly available. The 2014 i2b2 (Center of Informati...

Understanding safety-critical interactions with a home medical device through Distributed Cognition.

Journal of biomedical informatics
As healthcare shifts from the hospital to the home, it is becoming increasingly important to understand how patients interact with home medical devices, to inform the safe and patient-friendly design of these devices. Distributed Cognition (DCog) has...

Summarizing and visualizing structural changes during the evolution of biomedical ontologies using a Diff Abstraction Network.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Biomedical ontologies are a critical component in biomedical research and practice. As an ontology evolves, its structure and content change in response to additions, deletions and updates. When editing a biomedical ontology, small local updates may ...

Identifying synonymy between relational phrases using word embeddings.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Many text mining applications in the biomedical domain benefit from automatic clustering of relational phrases into synonymous groups, since it alleviates the problem of spurious mismatches caused by the diversity of natural language expressions. Mos...

Annotating risk factors for heart disease in clinical narratives for diabetic patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...

Supporting information retrieval from electronic health records: A report of University of Michigan's nine-year experience in developing and using the Electronic Medical Record Search Engine (EMERSE).

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: This paper describes the University of Michigan's nine-year experience in developing and using a full-text search engine designed to facilitate information retrieval (IR) from narrative documents stored in electronic health records (EHRs)....
