The global prevalence of mental health disorders is increasing, leading to a significant economic burden estimated in trillions of dollars. In automated mental health diagnosis, the scarcity and imbalance of clinical data pose considerable challenges...
BACKGROUND: Care home residents are a highly vulnerable group, but identifying care home residents in routine data is challenging. This study aimed to develop and validate Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to identify care home residents from...
Sarcasm detection has emerged due to its applicability in natural language processing (NLP) but lacks substantial exploration in low-resource languages like Urdu, Arabic, Pashto, and Roman-Urdu. While fewer studies identifying sarcasm have focused on...
Text embedding plays a crucial role in natural language processing (NLP). Among various approaches, nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is an effective method for this purpose. However, the standard NMF approach, fundamentally based on the bag-of-...
Support that mitigates the detrimental impact of adverse events on human healthcare practitioners is underpinned by an understanding of their experiences. This study used a mixed methods approach to understand veterinary practitioners' responses to a...
