Using local lexicalized rules to identify heart disease risk factors in clinical notes.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Heart disease is the leading cause of death globally and a significant part of the human population lives with it. A number of risk factors have been recognized as contributing to the disease, including obesity, coronary artery disease (CAD), hyperte...

The role of fine-grained annotations in supervised recognition of risk factors for heart disease from EHRs.

Journal of biomedical informatics
This paper describes a supervised machine learning approach for identifying heart disease risk factors in clinical text, and assessing the impact of annotation granularity and quality on the system's ability to recognize these risk factors. We utiliz...

Automatic de-identification of electronic medical records using token-level and character-level conditional random fields.

Journal of biomedical informatics
De-identification, identifying and removing all protected health information (PHI) present in clinical data including electronic medical records (EMRs), is a critical step in making clinical data publicly available. The 2014 i2b2 (Center of Informati...

An Approach for Learning Expressive Ontologies in Medical Domain.

Journal of medical systems
The access to medical information (journals, blogs, web-pages, dictionaries, and texts) has been increased due to availability of many digital media. In particular, finding an appropriate structure that represents the information contained in texts i...

Summarizing and visualizing structural changes during the evolution of biomedical ontologies using a Diff Abstraction Network.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Biomedical ontologies are a critical component in biomedical research and practice. As an ontology evolves, its structure and content change in response to additions, deletions and updates. When editing a biomedical ontology, small local updates may ...

Identifying synonymy between relational phrases using word embeddings.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Many text mining applications in the biomedical domain benefit from automatic clustering of relational phrases into synonymous groups, since it alleviates the problem of spurious mismatches caused by the diversity of natural language expressions. Mos...

Annotating risk factors for heart disease in clinical narratives for diabetic patients.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The 2014 i2b2/UTHealth natural language processing shared task featured a track focused on identifying risk factors for heart disease (specifically, Cardiac Artery Disease) in clinical narratives. For this track, we used a "light" annotation paradigm...

A concept ideation framework for medical device design.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Medical device design is a challenging process, often requiring collaboration between medical and engineering domain experts. This collaboration can be best institutionalized through systematic knowledge transfer between the two domains coupled with ...

Automated misspelling detection and correction in clinical free-text records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Accurate electronic health records are important for clinical care and research as well as ensuring patient safety. It is crucial for misspelled words to be corrected in order to ensure that medical records are interpreted correctly. This paper descr...

Multi-focus cluster labeling.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Document collections resulting from searches in the biomedical literature, for instance, in PubMed, are often so large that some organization of the returned information is necessary. Clustering is an efficient tool for organizing search results. To ...
