Medical knowledge infused convolutional neural networks for cohort selection in clinical trials.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: In this era of digitized health records, there has been a marked interest in using de-identified patient records for conducting various health related surveys. To assist in this research effort, we developed a novel clinical data represent...

Development of a global infectious disease activity database using natural language processing, machine learning, and human expertise.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: We assessed whether machine learning can be utilized to allow efficient extraction of infectious disease activity information from online media reports.

Cohort selection for clinical trials using hierarchical neural network.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Cohort selection for clinical trials is a key step for clinical research. We proposed a hierarchical neural network to determine whether a patient satisfied selection criteria or not.

Clinical trial cohort selection based on multi-level rule-based natural language processing system.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Identifying patients who meet selection criteria for clinical trials is typically challenging and time-consuming. In this article, we describe our clinical natural language processing (NLP) system to automatically assess patients' eligibil...

Cost-aware active learning for named entity recognition in clinical text.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Active Learning (AL) attempts to reduce annotation cost (ie, time) by selecting the most informative examples for annotation. Most approaches tacitly (and unrealistically) assume that the cost for annotating each sample is identical. This ...

Enhancing clinical concept extraction with contextual embeddings.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Neural network-based representations ("embeddings") have dramatically advanced natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including clinical NLP tasks such as concept extraction. Recently, however, more advanced embedding methods and represe...

Toward a clinical text encoder: pretraining for clinical natural language processing with applications to substance misuse.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Our objective is to develop algorithms for encoding clinical text into representations that can be used for a variety of phenotyping tasks.

ML-Net: multi-label classification of biomedical texts with deep neural networks.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: In multi-label text classification, each textual document is assigned 1 or more labels. As an important task that has broad applications in biomedicine, a number of different computational methods have been proposed. Many of these methods,...

Hybrid bag of approaches to characterize selection criteria for cohort identification.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: The 2018 National NLP Clinical Challenge (2018 n2c2) focused on the task of cohort selection for clinical trials, where participating systems were tasked with analyzing longitudinal patient records to determine if the patients met or did n...

Development and application of a high throughput natural language processing architecture to convert all clinical documents in a clinical data warehouse into standardized medical vocabularies.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Natural language processing (NLP) engines such as the clinical Text Analysis and Knowledge Extraction System are a solution for processing notes for research, but optimizing their performance for a clinical data warehouse remains a challen...
