Domain adaption of parsing for operative notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Full syntactic parsing of clinical text as a part of clinical natural language processing (NLP) is critical for a wide range of applications. Several robust syntactic parsers are publicly available to produce linguistic representations fo...

Adaptive semi-supervised recursive tree partitioning: The ART towards large scale patient indexing in personalized healthcare.

Journal of biomedical informatics
With the rapid development of information technologies, tremendous amount of data became readily available in various application domains. This big data era presents challenges to many conventional data analytics research directions including data ca...

Using natural language processing to extract mammographic findings.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Structured data on mammographic findings are difficult to obtain without manual review. We developed and evaluated a rule-based natural language processing (NLP) system to extract mammographic findings from free-text mammography reports.

A novel neural-inspired learning algorithm with application to clinical risk prediction.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Clinical risk prediction - the estimation of the likelihood an individual is at risk of a disease - is a coveted and exigent clinical task, and a cornerstone to the recommendation of life saving management strategies. This is especially important for...

Link-topic model for biomedical abbreviation disambiguation.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: The ambiguity of biomedical abbreviations is one of the challenges in biomedical text mining systems. In particular, the handling of term variants and abbreviations without nearby definitions is a critical issue. In this study, we adopt...

Evaluating semantic similarity and relatedness over the semantic grouping of clinical term pairs.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: This article explores how measures of semantic similarity and relatedness are impacted by the semantic groups to which the concepts they are measuring belong. Our goal is to determine if there are distinctions between homogeneous compar...

Stable feature selection for clinical prediction: exploiting ICD tree structure using Tree-Lasso.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Modern healthcare is getting reshaped by growing Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Recently, these records have been shown of great value towards building clinical prediction models. In EMR data, patients' diseases and hospital interventions are capt...

Secondary use of electronic health records for building cohort studies through top-down information extraction.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Controlled clinical trials are usually supported with an in-front data aggregation system, which supports the storage of relevant information according to the trial context within a highly structured environment. In contrast to the documentation of c...

Quantifying the determinants of outbreak detection performance through simulation and machine learning.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To develop a probabilistic model for discovering and quantifying determinants of outbreak detection and to use the model to predict detection performance for new outbreaks.
