Detecting Opioid-Related Aberrant Behavior using Natural Language Processing.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
The United States is in the midst of a prescription opioid epidemic, with the number of yearly opioid-related overdose deaths increasing almost fourfold since 2000. To more effectively prevent unintentional opioid overdoses, the medical profession re...

Representation of Social History Factors Across Age Groups: A Topic Analysis of Free-Text Social Documentation.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
As individuals age, there is potential for dramatic changes in the social and behavioral determinants that affect health status and outcomes. The importance of these determinants has been increasingly recognized in clinical decision-making. We sought...

A hybrid Neural Network Model for Joint Prediction of Presence and Period Assertions of Medical Events in Clinical Notes.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
In this paper, we propose a novel neural network architecture for clinical text mining. We formulate this hybrid neural network model (HNN), composed of recurrent neural network and deep residual network, to jointly predict the presence and period as...

A Multi-scale U-Net for Semantic Segmentation of Histological Images from Radical Prostatectomies.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Gleason grading of histological images is important in risk assessment and treatment planning for prostate cancer patients. Much research has been done in classifying small homogeneous cancer regions within histological images. However, semi-supervis...

Leveraging existing corpora for de-identification of psychiatric notes using domain adaptation.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
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...

Exploiting Unlabeled Texts with Clustering-based Instance Selection for Medical Relation Classification.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Classifying relations between pairs of medical concepts in clinical texts is a crucial task to acquire empirical evidence relevant to patient care. Due to limited labeled data and extremely unbalanced class distributions, medical relation classificat...

Differential Data Augmentation Techniques for Medical Imaging Classification Tasks.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Data augmentation is an essential part of training discriminative Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). A variety of augmentation strategies, including horizontal flips, random crops, and principal component analysis (PCA), have been proposed and sho...

Classifying Acute Ischemic Stroke Onset Time using Deep Imaging Features.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Models have been developed to predict stroke outcomes (e.g., mortality) in attempt to provide better guidance for stroke treatment. However, there is little work in developing classification models for the problem of unknown time-since-stroke (TSS), ...

The Dependence of Machine Learning on Electronic Medical Record Quality.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
There is growing interest in applying machine learning methods to Electronic Medical Records (EMR). Across different institutions, however, EMR quality can vary widely. This work investigated the impact of this disparity on the performance of three a...

Mining Electronic Health Records to Extract Patient-Centered Outcomes Following Prostate Cancer Treatment.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
The clinical, granular data in electronic health record (EHR) systems provide opportunities to improve patient care using informatics retrieval methods. However, it is well known that many methodological obstacles exist in accessing data within EHRs....
