A Hierarchical Approach to Encoding Medical Concepts for Clinical Notes
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper proposes a hierarchical text categorization (TC) approach to encoding free-text clinical notes with ICD-9-CM codes. Preliminary experimental result on the 2007 Computational Medicine Challenge data shows a hierarchical TC system has achieved a microaveraged F1 value of 86.6, which is comparable to the performance of state-of-the-art flat classification systems.

Hierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents
This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...
متن کاملRisk Stratification of ICU Patients Using Topic Models Inferred from Unstructured Progress Notes
We propose a novel approach for ICU patient risk stratification by combining the learned "topic" structure of clinical concepts (represented by UMLS codes) extracted from the unstructured nursing notes with physiologic data (from SAPS-I) for hospital mortality prediction. We used Hierarchical Dirichlet Processes (HDP), a non-parametric topic modeling technique, to automatically discover "topics...

The ShARe/CLEF eHealth Evaluation Lab (SHEL) organized a challenge on natural language processing (NLP) and information retrieval (IR) in the medical domain in 2013. The first task of the 2013 ShARe/CLEF challenge was to extract disorder mention spans and their associated UMLS (Unified Medical Language System) concept unique identifiers (CUIs). We participated in Task 1 and developed a clinical...
متن کاملDiscovering Related Clinical Concepts Using Large Amounts of Clinical Notes
The ability to find highly related clinical concepts is essential for many applications such as for hypothesis generation, query expansion for medical literature search, search results filtering, ICD-10 code filtering and many other applications. While manually constructed medical terminologies such as SNOMED CT can surface certain related concepts, these terminologies are inadequate as they de...
