The medical domain is often subject to information overload. The digitization of healthcare, constant updates to online medical repositories, and increasing availability of biomedical datasets make it challenging to effectively analyze the…
As the amount of data on the World Wide Web continues to grow exponentially, access to semantically structured information remains limited. The Semantic Web has emerged as a solution to enhance the machine-readability of data, making it…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly adopted in healthcare to support clinical decision-making, summarize electronic health records (EHRs), and enhance patient care. However, this integration introduces significant privacy and…
Medical health records and clinical summaries contain a vast amount of important information in textual form that can help advancing research on treatments, drugs and public health. However, the majority of these information is not shared…
Large language models (LLMs) have performed well across various clinical natural language processing tasks, despite not being directly trained on electronic health record (EHR) data. In this work, we examine how popular open-source LLMs…
In ubiquitous computing domain context awareness is an important issue. So, in ubiquitous computing, mere protection of message confidentiality is not sufficient for most of the applications where context-awareness can lead to near…
With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and deep learning, medical image analysis has become a critical tool in modern healthcare, significantly improving diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. However, AI-based methods also…
Clinical notes contain rich clinical narratives but their unstructured format poses challenges for large-scale analysis. Standardized terminologies such as SNOMED CT improve interoperability, yet understanding how concepts relate through…
Existing deep learning models have achieved promising performance in recognizing skin diseases from dermoscopic images. However, these models can only recognize samples from predefined categories, when they are deployed in the clinic, data…
Background: In the information extraction and natural language processing domain, accessible datasets are crucial to reproduce and compare results. Publicly available implementations and tools can serve as benchmark and facilitate the…
Recent advances in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) have enabled large language models (LLMs) to ground outputs in clinical evidence. However, connecting LLMs with external databases introduces the risk of contextual leakage: a subtle…
Learning causal relationships between variables from data is a fundamental research area with many applications across disciplines. Most existing causal discovery algorithms rely on the assumptions that (i) the underlying system is acyclic,…
The goal of homomorphic encryption is to encrypt data such that another party can operate on it without being explicitly exposed to the content of the original data. We introduce an idea for a privacy-preserving transformation on natural…
Word embeddings have been shown adept at capturing the semantic and syntactic regularities of the natural language text, as a result of which these representations have found their utility in a wide variety of downstream content analysis…
Knowledge discovery is hindered by the increasing volume of publications and the scarcity of extensive annotated data. To tackle the challenge of information overload, it is essential to employ automated methods for knowledge extraction and…
The accurate recognition of symptoms in clinical reports is significantly important in the fields of healthcare and biomedical natural language processing. These entities serve as essential building blocks for clinical information…
Online news media provides aggregated news and stories from different sources all over the world and up-to-date news coverage. The main goal of this study is to have a solution that considered as a homogeneous source for the news and to…
Efficiently identifying keyphrases that represent a given document is a challenging task. In the last years, plethora of keyword detection approaches were proposed. These approaches can be based on statistical (frequency-based) properties…
Background: Access to medical care is strongly dependent on resource allocation, such as the geographical distribution of medical facilities. Nevertheless, this data is usually restricted to country official documentation, not available to…
