Social telehealth has revolutionized healthcare by enabling patients to share symptoms and receive medical consultations remotely. Users frequently post symptoms on social media and online health platforms, generating a vast repository of…
Clinical patient notes are critical for documenting patient interactions, diagnoses, and treatment plans in medical practice. Ensuring accurate evaluation of these notes is essential for medical education and certification. However, manual…
One essential task in information extraction from the medical corpus is drug name recognition. Compared with text sources come from other domains, the medical text is special and has unique characteristics. In addition, the medical text…
We present HILGEN, a Hierarchically-Informed Data Generation approach that combines domain knowledge from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) with synthetic data generated by large language models (LLMs), specifically GPT-3.5. Our…
This study is dedicated to exploring the application of prompt learning methods to advance Named Entity Recognition (NER) within the medical domain. In recent years, the emergence of large-scale models has driven significant progress in NER…
The lack of publicly accessible text corpora is a major obstacle for progress in natural language processing. For medical applications, unfortunately, all language communities other than English are low-resourced. In this work, we present…
Latest advances in the field of natural language processing (NLP) enable new use cases for different domains, including the medical sector. In particular, transcription can be used to support automation in the nursing documentation process…
Traditional representations like Bag of words are high dimensional, sparse and ignore the order as well as syntactic and semantic information. Distributed vector representations or embeddings map variable length text to dense fixed length…
Unstructured textual data is at the heart of healthcare systems. For obvious privacy reasons, these documents are not accessible to researchers as long as they contain personally identifiable information. One way to share this data while…
Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated surprising performance across various natural language processing tasks. Recently, medical LLMs enhanced with domain-specific knowledge have exhibited excellent capabilities in medical…
Neural networks models for NLP are typically implemented without the explicit encoding of language rules and yet they are able to break one performance record after another. This has generated a lot of research interest in interpreting the…
Natural language processing (NLP) is an area of artificial intelligence that applies information technologies to process the human language, understand it to a certain degree, and use it in various applications. This area has rapidly…
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a prevalent psychiatric disorder that is associated with significant healthcare burden worldwide. Phenotyping of MDD can help early diagnosis and consequently may have significant advantages in patient…
Electronic health records (EHR) contain narrative notes that provide extensive details on the medical condition and management of patients. Natural language processing (NLP) of clinical notes can use observed frequencies of clinical terms…
Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation (NERD) systems have recently been widely researched to deal with the significant growth of the Web. NERD systems are crucial for several Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks such as…
In this work, we consider the medical concept normalization problem, i.e., the problem of mapping a health-related entity mention in a free-form text to a concept in a controlled vocabulary, usually to the standard thesaurus in the Unified…
Named Entity Recognition (NER) or the extraction of concepts from clinical text is the task of identifying entities in text and slotting them into categories such as problems, treatments, tests, clinical departments, occurrences (such as…
Pre-trained transformer language models (TLMs) have recently refashioned natural language processing (NLP): Most state-of-the-art NLP models now operate on top of TLMs to benefit from contextualization and knowledge induction. To explain…
Named entity recognition (NER) is the task to identify mentions of rigid designators from text belonging to predefined semantic types such as person, location, organization etc. NER always serves as the foundation for many natural language…
Textual data from social platforms captures various aspects of mental health through discussions around and across issues, while users reach out for help and others sympathize and offer support. We propose a comprehensive framework that…
