Artificial Intelligence Learning Semantics via External Resources for Classifying Diagnosis Codes in Discharge Notes
BACKGROUND Automated disease code classification using free-text medical information is important for public health surveillance. However, traditional natural language processing (NLP) pipelines are limited, so we propose a method combining word embedding with a convolutional neural network (CNN). OBJECTIVE Our objective was to compare the performance of traditional pipelines (NLP plus superv...
متن کاملDeveloping Feature Types for Classifying Clinical Notes
This paper proposes a machine learning approach to the task of assigning the international standard on classification of diseases ICD-9-CM codes to clinical records. By treating the task as a text categorisation problem, a classification system was built which explores a variety of features including negation, different strategies of measuring gloss overlaps between the content of clinical reco...

Code assignment is important on many levels in the modern hospital, from ensuring accurate billing process to creating a valid record of patient care history. However, the coding process is tedious, subjective, and requires medical coders with extensive training. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of deep learning based systems to automatically map clinical notes to medi...
