متن کاملAutomated Annotation for Medical Discharge Summaries: A Preliminary Study
Presumably, with sufficient training data, it would be possible to build a classifier for each of the twenty predetermined complication labels.

Similarly for the second task, there were only twenty patient...

We explore the possibility of identifying the smoking status from discharge summaries when these smoking terms have been removed. We present results using a Näıve Bayes classifier on a ...
