Machine Learning for Automatic Encoding of French Electronic Medical Records: Is More Data Better?

Studies in health technology and informatics
The encoding of Electronic Medical Records is a complex and time-consuming task. We report on a machine learning model for proposing diagnoses and procedures codes, from a large realistic dataset of 245 000 electronic medical records at the Universit...

Machine Learning Assisted Citation Screening for Systematic Reviews.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Evidence-based practice is highly dependent upon up-to-date systematic reviews (SR) for decision making. However, conducting and updating systematic reviews, especially the citation screening for identification of relevant studies, requires much huma...

Leveraging PubMed to Create a Specialty-Based Sense Inventory for Spanish Acronym Resolution.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Acronyms frequently occur in clinical text, which makes their identification, disambiguation and resolution an important task in clinical natural language processing. This paper contributes to acronym resolution in Spanish through the creation of a s...

Introducing New Measures of Inter- and Intra-Rater Agreement to Assess the Reliability of Medical Ground Truth.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we present and discuss two new measures of inter- and intra-rater agreement to assess the reliability of the raters, and hence of their labeling, in multi-rater setings, which are common in the production of ground truth for machine le...

H-Accuracy, an Alternative Metric to Assess Classification Models in Medicine.

Studies in health technology and informatics
As widely known, regular accuracy is a misleading and shallow indicator of the performance of a predictive model, especially in real-life domains like medicine, where decisions affect health or life. In this paper we present and discuss a new accurac...

Evaluation of Document Retrieval Systems on a Medical Corpus in French: Indexation vs. Feature Learning.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents five document retrieval systems for a small (few thousands) and domain specific corpora (weekly peer-reviewed medical journals published in French) as well as an evaluation methodology to quantify the models performance. The propo...

End-to-End Approach for Structuring Radiology Reports.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Radiology reports include various types of clinical information that are used for patient care. Reports are also expected to have secondary uses (e.g., clinical research and the development of decision support systems). For secondary use, it is neces...

Emerging Concepts and Applied Machine Learning Research in Patients with Drug-Induced Repolarization Disorders.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The paper presents a review of current research to develop predictive models for automated detection of drug-induced repolarization disorders and shows a feasibility study for developing machine learning tools trained on massive multimodal datasets o...

Digitalisation of the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised and Evaluation with a Machine Learning Algorithm.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The disease multiple sclerosis (MS) is characterized by various neurological symptoms. This paper deals with a novel tool to assess cognitive dysfunction. The Brief Visuospatial Memory Test-Revised (BVMT-R) is a recognized method to measure optical r...

Detection of Muscle Weakness in Medical Texts Using Natural Language Processing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Identifying adverse events in clinical documents is demanded in retrospective clinical research and prospective monitoring of treatment safety and cost-effectiveness. We proposed and evaluated a few methods of semi-automated muscle weakness detection...
