RadLex Normalization in Radiology Reports.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
Radiology reports have been widely used for extraction of various clinically significant information about patients' imaging studies. However, limited research has focused on standardizing the entities to a common radiology-specific vocabulary. Furth...

Domain specific word embeddings for natural language processing in radiology.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: There has been increasing interest in machine learning based natural language processing (NLP) methods in radiology; however, models have often used word embeddings trained on general web corpora due to lack of a radiology-specific corpus...

Quality assurance and enrichment of biological and biomedical ontologies and terminologies.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
Biological and biomedical ontologies and terminologies are used to organize and store various domain-specific knowledge to provide standardization of terminology usage and to improve interoperability. The growing number of such ontologies and termino...

Prediction of severe chest injury using natural language processing from the electronic health record.

Injury
INTRODUCTION: Trauma injury severity scores are currently calculated retrospectively from the electronic health record (EHR) using manual annotation by certified trauma coders. Natural language processing (NLP) of clinical documents in the EHR may en...

Summarization of biomedical articles using domain-specific word embeddings and graph ranking.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Text summarization tools can help biomedical researchers and clinicians reduce the time and effort needed for acquiring important information from numerous documents. It has been shown that the input text can be modeled as a graph, and important sent...

Publicly available machine learning models for identifying opioid misuse from the clinical notes of hospitalized patients.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Automated de-identification methods for removing protected health information (PHI) from the source notes of the electronic health record (EHR) rely on building systems to recognize mentions of PHI in text, but they remain inadequate at e...

Concept based auto-assignment of healthcare questions to domain experts in online Q&A communities.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Healthcare consumers are increasingly turning to the online health Q&A communities to seek answers for their questions because current general search engines are unable to digest complex health-related questions. Q&A communities are platf...

A Neuro-ontology for the neurological examination.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: The use of clinical data in electronic health records for machine-learning or data analytics depends on the conversion of free text into machine-readable codes. We have examined the feasibility of capturing the neurological examination as...

SemBioNLQA: A semantic biomedical question answering system for retrieving exact and ideal answers to natural language questions.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Question answering (QA), the identification of short accurate answers to users questions written in natural language expressions, is a longstanding issue widely studied over the last decades in the open-domain. However, it s...

A question-entailment approach to question answering.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: One of the challenges in large-scale information retrieval (IR) is developing fine-grained and domain-specific methods to answer natural language questions. Despite the availability of numerous sources and datasets for answer retrieval, Q...
