Aspect-based sentiment analysis is a natural language processing task whose aim is to automatically classify the sentiment associated with a specific aspect of a written text. In this study, we propose a novel model for aspect-based sentiment analysi...
BACKGROUND: Recent natural language processing (NLP) research is dominated by neural network methods that employ word embeddings as basic building blocks. Pre-training with neural methods that capture local and global distributional properties (e.g.,...
The recognition, disambiguation, and expansion of medical abbreviations and acronyms is of upmost importance to prevent medically-dangerous misinterpretation in natural language processing. To support recognition, disambiguation, and expansion, we pr...

BACKGROUND: Controlled vocabularies are fundamental resources for information extraction from clinical texts using natural language processing (NLP). Standard language resources available in the healthcare domain such as the UMLS metathesaurus or SNO...
Electronic health records (EHR) contain large volumes of unstructured text, requiring the application of information extraction (IE) technologies to enable clinical analysis. We present the open source Medical Concept Annotation Toolkit (MedCAT) that...
BACKGROUND: Word vectors or word embeddings are n-dimensional representations of words and form the backbone of Natural Language Processing of textual data. This research experiments with algorithms that augment word vectors with lexical constraints ...
