Medical subdomain classification of clinical notes using a machine learning-based natural language processing approach.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: The medical subdomain of a clinical note, such as cardiology or neurology, is useful content-derived metadata for developing machine learning downstream applications. To classify the medical subdomain of a note accurately, we have constru...

Towards refactoring the Molecular Function Ontology with a UML profile for function modeling.

Journal of biomedical semantics
BACKGROUND: Gene Ontology (GO) is the largest resource for cataloging gene products. This resource grows steadily and, naturally, this growth raises issues regarding the structure of the ontology. Moreover, modeling and refactoring large ontologies s...

Semantic Modeling for Exposomics with Exploratory Evaluation in Clinical Context.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Exposome is a critical dimension in the precision medicine paradigm. Effective representation of exposomics knowledge is instrumental to melding nongenetic factors into data analytics for clinical research. There is still limited work in (1) modeling...

Word2Vec inversion and traditional text classifiers for phenotyping lupus.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Identifying patients with certain clinical criteria based on manual chart review of doctors' notes is a daunting task given the massive amounts of text notes in the electronic health records (EHR). This task can be automated using text cl...

Word embeddings and recurrent neural networks based on Long-Short Term Memory nodes in supervised biomedical word sense disambiguation.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Word sense disambiguation helps identifying the proper sense of ambiguous words in text. With large terminologies such as the UMLS Metathesaurus ambiguities appear and highly effective disambiguation methods are required. Supervised learning algorith...

A passage retrieval method based on probabilistic information retrieval model and UMLS concepts in biomedical question answering.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Passage retrieval, the identification of top-ranked passages that may contain the answer for a given biomedical question, is a crucial component for any biomedical question answering (QA) system. Passage retrieval in open-do...

Clinical Natural Language Processing in 2015: Leveraging the Variety of Texts of Clinical Interest.

Yearbook of medical informatics
OBJECTIVE: To summarize recent research and present a selection of the best papers published in 2015 in the field of clinical Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Can multilinguality improve Biomedical Word Sense Disambiguation?

Journal of biomedical informatics
Ambiguity in the biomedical domain represents a major issue when performing Natural Language Processing tasks over the huge amount of available information in the field. For this reason, Word Sense Disambiguation is critical for achieving accurate sy...

Mapping Phenotypic Information in Heterogeneous Textual Sources to a Domain-Specific Terminological Resource.

PloS one
Biomedical literature articles and narrative content from Electronic Health Records (EHRs) both constitute rich sources of disease-phenotype information. Phenotype concepts may be mentioned in text in multiple ways, using phrases with a variety of st...

Use of "off-the-shelf" information extraction algorithms in clinical informatics: A feasibility study of MetaMap annotation of Italian medical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Information extraction from narrative clinical notes is useful for patient care, as well as for secondary use of medical data, for research or clinical purposes. Many studies focused on information extraction from English clinical texts, but less dea...
