Text de-identification is an application of clinical natural language processing that offers significant efficiency and scalability advantages. Hence, various learning algorithms have been applied to this task to yield better performance. Instead of ...
OBJECTIVES: Automatic de-identification to remove protected health information (PHI) from clinical text can use a "binary" model that replaces redacted text with a generic tag (e.g., ""), or can use a "multiclass" model that retains more class i...
De-identification of clinical notes is a special case of named entity recognition. Supervised machine-learning (ML) algorithms have achieved promising results for this task. However, ML-based de-identification systems often require annotating a large...

BACKGROUND: De-identification is the first step to use these records for data processing or further medical investigations in electronic medical records. Consequently, a reliable automated de-identification system would be of high value.
De-identification, or identifying and removing protected health information (PHI) from clinical data, is a critical step in making clinical data available for clinical applications and research. This paper presents a natural language processing syste...
