Negation Detection for Clinical Text Mining in Russian.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Developing predictive modeling in medicine requires additional features from unstructured clinical texts. In Russia, there are no instruments for natural language processing to cope with problems of medical records. This paper is devoted to a module ...

Leveraging PubMed to Create a Specialty-Based Sense Inventory for Spanish Acronym Resolution.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Acronyms frequently occur in clinical text, which makes their identification, disambiguation and resolution an important task in clinical natural language processing. This paper contributes to acronym resolution in Spanish through the creation of a s...

Evaluation of Document Retrieval Systems on a Medical Corpus in French: Indexation vs. Feature Learning.

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents five document retrieval systems for a small (few thousands) and domain specific corpora (weekly peer-reviewed medical journals published in French) as well as an evaluation methodology to quantify the models performance. The propo...

End-to-End Approach for Structuring Radiology Reports.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Radiology reports include various types of clinical information that are used for patient care. Reports are also expected to have secondary uses (e.g., clinical research and the development of decision support systems). For secondary use, it is neces...

Detection of Muscle Weakness in Medical Texts Using Natural Language Processing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Identifying adverse events in clinical documents is demanded in retrospective clinical research and prospective monitoring of treatment safety and cost-effectiveness. We proposed and evaluated a few methods of semi-automated muscle weakness detection...

Clinical History Segment Extraction from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Assessments to Model Disease Trajectories.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a long-term illness with a wide range of symptoms and condition trajectories. To improve the understanding of these, automated analysis of large amounts of patient data holds promise. Routinely documented assessments...

Clinical Concept Normalization on Medical Records Using Word Embeddings and Heuristics.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Electronic health records contain valuable information on patients' clinical history in the form of free text. Manually analyzing millions of these documents is unfeasible and automatic natural language processing methods are essential for efficientl...

Clinical Abbreviation Disambiguation Using Deep Contextualized Representation.

Studies in health technology and informatics
The objective of this study is to develop a method for clinical abbreviation disambiguation using deep contextualized representation and cluster analysis. We employed the pre-trained BioELMo language model to generate the contextualized word vector f...

Character-Level Neural Language Modelling in the Clinical Domain.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Word embeddings have become the predominant representation scheme on a token-level for various clinical natural language processing (NLP) tasks. More recently, character-level neural language models, exploiting recurrent neural networks, have again r...

Automatic Extraction of Risk Factors for Dialysis Patients from Clinical Notes Using Natural Language Processing Techniques.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Studies have shown that mental health and comorbidities such as dementia, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are risk factors for dialysis patients. Extracting accurate and timely information associated with these risk factors in the patient health...
