Medical question answer (QA) assistants respond to lay users' health-related queries by synthesizing information from multiple sources using natural language processing and related techniques. They can serve as vital tools to alleviate issues of misi...
BACKGROUND: Fusion of multi-modal data can improve the performance of deep learning models. However, missing modalities are common in medical data due to patient specificity, which is detrimental to the performance of multi-modal models in applicatio...
OBJECTIVE: Extracting named entities from clinical free-text presents unique challenges, particularly when dealing with discontinuous entities-mentions that are separated by unrelated words. Traditional NER methods often struggle to accurately identi...
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) involves a solution by retrieving knowledge from an established database to enhance the performance of large language models (LLM). , these models retrieve information at the sentence or paragraph level, potential...
Machine learning has become a powerful tool for computational analysis in the biomedical sciences, with its effectiveness significantly enhanced by integrating domain-specific knowledge. This integration has give rise to informed machine learning, in...
AI tools in radiology are revolutionising the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of patients. However, there is a major gap between the large number of developed AI tools and those translated into daily clinical practice, which can be primarily at...
In this study, we revisit named entity recognition (NER) in the biomedical domain from a multimodal perspective, with a particular focus on applications in low-resource languages. Existing research primarily relies on unimodal methods for NER, which ...
OBJECTIVE: Although deep learning techniques have shown significant achievements, they frequently depend on extensive amounts of hand-labeled data and tend to perform inadequately in few-shot scenarios. The objective of this study is to devise a stra...
