Predicting the risk of in-hospital mortality from electronic health records (EHRs) has received considerable attention. Such predictions will provide early warning of a patient's health condition to healthcare professionals so that timely…
We present a simple yet elegant solution to train a single joint model on multi-criteria corpora for Chinese Word Segmentation (CWS). Our novel design requires no private layers in model architecture, instead, introduces two artificial…
Multi-criteria Chinese word segmentation is a promising but challenging task, which exploits several different segmentation criteria and mines their common underlying knowledge. In this paper, we propose a flexible multi-criteria learning…
This article summarizes a systematic review of the electroencephalography (EEG)-based cognitive workload (CWL) estimation. The focus of the article is twofold: identify the disparate experimental paradigms used for reliably eliciting…
Active learning (AL) has the potential to drastically reduce annotation costs in 3D biomedical image segmentation, where expert labeling of volumetric data is both time-consuming and expensive. Yet, existing AL methods are unable to…
Many diagnostic errors occur because clinicians cannot easily access relevant information in patient Electronic Health Records (EHRs). In this work we propose a method to use LLMs to identify pieces of evidence in patient EHR data that…
Accurate instrument segmentation in endoscopic vision of robot-assisted surgery is challenging due to reflection on the instruments and frequent contacts with tissue. Deep neural networks (DNN) show competitive performance and are in favor…
We consider the problem of wisely using a limited budget to label a small subset of a large unlabeled dataset. We are motivated by the NLP problem of word sense disambiguation. For any word, we have a set of candidate labels from a…
Electronic Health Record (EHR) coding involves automatically classifying EHRs into diagnostic codes. While most previous research treats this as a multi-label classification task, generating probabilities for each code and selecting those…
Prior methods to text segmentation are mostly at token level. Despite the adequacy, this nature limits their full potential to capture the long-term dependencies among segments. In this work, we propose a novel framework that incrementally…
Objective: There is a lot of information about cancer in Electronic Health Record (EHR) notes that can be useful for biomedical research provided natural language processing (NLP) methods are available to extract and structure this…
We define a representation framework for extracting spatial information from radiology reports (Rad-SpRL). We annotated a total of 2000 chest X-ray reports with 4 spatial roles corresponding to the common radiology entities. Our focus is on…
The prevalent approaches of Chinese word segmentation task almost rely on the Bi-LSTM neural network. However, the methods based the Bi-LSTM have some inherent drawbacks: hard to parallel computing, little efficient in applying the Dropout…
Modern AI algorithms require labeled data. In real world, majority of data are unlabeled. Labeling the data are costly. this is particularly true for some areas requiring special skills, such as reading radiology images by physicians. To…
