OBJECTIVE: Suicide risk assessment has historically relied heavily on clinical evaluations and patient self-reports. Natural language processing (NLP) of electronic health records (EHRs) provides an alternative approach for extracting risk predictors...
BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) has the potential to promote public health. However, applying these technologies in African health systems faces challenges, including limited digital and computational resources to support the continent'...
BACKGROUND: While the COVID-19 pandemic has induced massive discussion of available medications on social media, traditional studies focused only on limited aspects, such as public opinions, and endured reporting biases, inefficiency, and long collec...
INTRODUCTION: Accurate data capture is integral for research and quality improvement efforts. Unfortunately, limited guidance for defining and documenting regional anesthesia has resulted in wide variation in documentation practices, even within indi...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Automated surgical skill assessment using kinematic and video data (hard data) sources has been widely adopted in the literature. However, experts' opinions (soft data) in the form of free-text could be an invaluable source ...
BACKGROUND: Patients' oral expressions serve as valuable sources of clinical information to improve pharmacotherapy. Natural language processing (NLP) is a useful approach for analyzing unstructured text data, such as patient narratives. However, few...
BACKGROUND: Single-cell multi-omics technologies, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), have revolutionized our understanding of cellular heterogeneity and development by providing insights into gene expression at the single-cell level...
INTRODUCTION: Large learning models (LLMs) such as GPT are advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models. Originally developed for natural language processing, they have been adapted for multi-modal tasks with vision-language input. One clinically rel...
PURPOSE: Many Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods achieve greater performance when the input text is preprocessed to remove extraneous or unnecessary text. A technique known as text segmentation can facilitate this step by isolating key section...
BACKGROUND: Consensus-based large language model (LLM) ensembles might provide an automated solution for extracting structured data from unstructured text in echocardiography reports.
