Deep contextualized embeddings for quantifying the informative content in biomedical text summarization.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Capturing the context of text is a challenging task in biomedical text summarization. The objective of this research is to show how contextualized embeddings produced by a deep bidirectional language model can be utilized to...

Ontology-Based Healthcare Named Entity Recognition from Twitter Messages Using a Recurrent Neural Network Approach.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Named Entity Recognition (NER) in the healthcare domain involves identifying and categorizing disease, drugs, and symptoms for biosurveillance, extracting their related properties and activities, and identifying adverse drug events appearing in texts...

An interpretable natural language processing system for written medical examination assessment.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: The assessment of written medical examinations is a tedious and expensive process, requiring significant amounts of time from medical experts. Our objective was to develop a natural language processing (NLP) system that can expedite the as...

Concept embedding to measure semantic relatedness for biomedical information ontologies.

Journal of biomedical informatics
There have been many attempts to identify relationships among concepts corresponding to terms from biomedical information ontologies such as the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS). In particular, vector representation of such concepts using infor...

Clinical text classification with rule-based features and knowledge-guided convolutional neural networks.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Clinical text classification is an fundamental problem in medical natural language processing. Existing studies have cocnventionally focused on rules or knowledge sources-based feature engineering, but only a limited number of studies hav...

Unsupervised concept extraction from clinical text through semantic composition.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Concept extraction is an important step in clinical natural language processing. Once extracted, the use of concepts can improve the accuracy and generalization of downstream systems. We present a new unsupervised system for the extraction of concept...

An efficient prototype method to identify and correct misspellings in clinical text.

BMC research notes
OBJECTIVE: Misspellings in clinical free text present challenges to natural language processing. With an objective to identify misspellings and their corrections, we developed a prototype spelling analysis method that implements Word2Vec, Levenshtein...

Quantitative analysis of manual annotation of clinical text samples.

International journal of medical informatics
BACKGROUND: Semantic interoperability of eHealth services within and across countries has been the main topic in several research projects. It is a key consideration for the European Commission to overcome the complexity of making different health in...

Using natural language processing and machine learning to identify breast cancer local recurrence.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Identifying local recurrences in breast cancer from patient data sets is important for clinical research and practice. Developing a model using natural language processing and machine learning to identify local recurrences in breast cance...

Fast and scalable neural embedding models for biomedical sentence classification.

BMC bioinformatics
BACKGROUND: Biomedical literature is expanding rapidly, and tools that help locate information of interest are needed. To this end, a multitude of different approaches for classifying sentences in biomedical publications according to their coarse sem...
