Expressing Biomedical Ontologies in Natural Language for Expert Evaluation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
We report on a study of our custom Hootation software for the purposes of assessing its ability to produce clear and accurate natural language phrases from axioms embedded in three biomedical ontologies. Using multiple domain experts and three discre...

Identifying Biomarkers of Hepatocellular Carcinoma Based on Gene Co-Expression Network from High-Throughput Data.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we proposed an approach systematically based on the use of gene co-expression network analyses to identify potential biomarkers for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC). With the analysis of differential gene expression, we first selected ca...

"Hybrid Topics" - Facilitating the Interpretation of Topics Through the Addition of MeSH Descriptors to Bags of Words.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Extracting and understanding information, themes and relationships from large collections of documents is an important task for biomedical researchers. Latent Dirichlet Allocation is an unsupervised topic modeling technique using the bag-of-words ass...

Semantic Relations in Compound Nouns: Perspectives from Inter-Annotator Agreement.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Semantic relations have been studied for decades without yet reaching consensus on the set of these relations. However, biomedical language processing and ontologies rely on these relations, so it is important to be able to evaluate their suitability...

Applying Risk Models on Patients with Unknown Predictor Values: An Incremental Learning Approach.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In clinical practice, many patients may have unknown or missing values for some predictors, causing that the developed risk models cannot be directly applied on these patients. In this paper, we propose an incremental learning approach to apply a dev...

Aligned-Layer Text Search in Clinical Notes.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Search techniques in clinical text need to make fine-grained semantic distinctions, since medical terms may be negated, about someone other than the patient, or at some time other than the present. While natural language processing (NLP) approaches a...

Uncovering Hidden Topics in Hong Kong Clinical Research Through Hospital Authority Convention Publications.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Uncovering clinical research trends allows us to understand the direction of healthcare services and is essential for longer-term healthcare planning. The Hospital Authority Convention is a mainstream annual healthcare conference that gathers up-to-d...

Automating the Identification of Patient Safety Incident Reports Using Multi-Label Classification.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Automated identification provides an efficient way to categorize patient safety incidents. Previous studies have focused on identifying single incident types relating to a specific patient safety problem, e.g., clinical handover. In reality, there ar...

A Deep Learning-Based Method for Similar Patient Question Retrieval in Chinese.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The online patient question and answering (Q&A) system, either as a website or a mobile application, attracts an increasing number of users in China. Patients will post their questions and the registered doctors then provide the corresponding ans...

Prescription Opioid Dependence in Western New York: Using Data Analytics to Find an Answer to the Opioid Epidemic.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Opioid dependence and overdose is on the rise. One indicator is the increasing trends of prescription buprenorphine use among patient on chronic pain medication. In addition to the New York State Department of Health's prescription drug monitoring pr...
