Combining knowledge- and data-driven methods for de-identification of clinical narratives.

Journal of biomedical informatics
A recent promise to access unstructured clinical data from electronic health records on large-scale has revitalized the interest in automated de-identification of clinical notes, which includes the identification of mentions of Protected Health Infor...

Agile text mining for the 2014 i2b2/UTHealth Cardiac risk factors challenge.

Journal of biomedical informatics
This paper describes the use of an agile text mining platform (Linguamatics' Interactive Information Extraction Platform, I2E) to extract document-level cardiac risk factors in patient records as defined in the i2b2/UTHealth 2014 challenge. The appro...

Challenges in clinical natural language processing for automated disorder normalization.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying key variables such as disorders within the clinical narratives in electronic health records has wide-ranging applications within clinical practice and biomedical research. Previous research has demonstrated reduced performance...

Using local lexicalized rules to identify heart disease risk factors in clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally and a significant part of the human population lives with it. A number of risk factors have been recognized as contributing to the disease, including obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD), hyperte...

The role of fine-grained annotations in supervised recognition of risk factors for heart disease from EHRs.

Journal of biomedical informatics
This paper describes a supervised machine learning approach for identifying heart disease risk factors in clinical text, and assessing the impact of annotation granularity and quality on the system's ability to recognize these risk factors. We utiliz...

Automatic de-identification of electronic medical records using token-level and character-level conditional random fields.

Journal of biomedical informatics
De-identification, identifying and removing all protected health information (PHI) present in clinical data including electronic medical records (EMRs), is a critical step in making clinical data publicly available. The 2014 i2b2 (Center of Informati...

Detection of sentence boundaries and abbreviations in clinical narratives.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: In Western languages the period character is highly ambiguous, due to its double role as sentence delimiter and abbreviation marker. This is particularly relevant in clinical free-texts characterized by numerous anomalies in spelling, pun...

Annotating risk factors for heart disease in clinical narratives for diabetic patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...

Injury narrative text classification using factorization model.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Narrative text is a useful way of identifying injury circumstances from the routine emergency department data collections. Automatically classifying narratives based on machine learning techniques is a promising technique, which can consequently redu...
