This study developed a predictive model using deep learning (DL) and natural language processing (NLP) to identify emergency cases in pediatric emergency departments. It analyzed 87,759 pediatric cases from a South Korean tertiary hospital (2012-2021...
BACKGROUND: A vast amount of potentially useful information such as description of patient symptoms, family, and social history is recorded as free-text notes in electronic health records (EHRs) but is difficult to reliably extract at scale, limiting...
The hype surrounding Generative AI is such that the impression one may get is that these technologies are solving all the problems of humankind, including medical diagnoses. This can result in great disappointments (or worse) unless there is a clear ...

INTRODUCTION: The automated analysis of connected speech using natural language processing (NLP) emerges as a possible biomarker for Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, it remains unclear which types of connected speech are most sensitive and specific...
We introduce EmoAtlas, a computational library/framework extracting emotions and syntactic/semantic word associations from texts. EmoAtlas combines interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) for syntactic parsing in 18 languages and psychologically v...
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...
BACKGROUND: The application of natural language processing in medicine has increased significantly, including tasks such as information extraction and classification. Natural language processing plays a crucial role in structuring free-form radiology...
Mental health disorders, including non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidal behavior, represent a growing global concern. Early detection of these conditions is crucial for timely intervention and prevention of adverse outcomes. In this study, we...

BACKGROUND: Accurate classification of medical records is crucial for clinical documentation, particularly when using the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10) coding system. The use of machine learning algorithms and...
BACKGROUND: Prediction models have demonstrated a range of applications across medicine, including using electronic health record (EHR) data to identify hospital readmission and mortality risk. Large language models (LLMs) can transform unstructured ...
