Natural language processing � for ( mostly population ) health
We develop a model for automatically extracting the sample size from the free text of clinical trial abstracts. We demonstrate that training this model via distant supervision (by leveraging the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews) results in performance comparable to a fully supervised approach, with extremely minimal explicit human annotation. This work demonstrates the promise of distant...
متن کاملTracking Epidemics with Natural Language Processing and Crowdsourcing
The first indication of a new outbreak is often in unstructured data (natural language) and reported openly in traditional or social media as a new ‘flu-like’ or ‘malaria-like’ illness weeks or months before the new pathogen is eventually isolated. We present a system for tracking these early signals globally, using natural language processing and crowdsourcing. By comparison, search-log-based ...
متن کاملNew trends in natural language processing: statistical natural language processing.
The field of natural language processing (NLP) has seen a dramatic shift in both research direction and methodology in the past several years. In the past, most work in computational linguistics tended to focus on purely symbolic methods. Recently, more and more work is shifting toward hybrid methods that combine new empirical corpus-based methods, including the use of probabilistic and informa...

An essay about mimicking some aspects of language processing in our heads, using information fusion and competing patterns.
متن کاملInterleaving Natural Language Parsing and Generation through Uniform Processing
We present a new model of natural language processing in which natural language parsing and generation are strongly interleaved tasks. Interleaving of parsing and generation is important if we assume that natural language understanding and production are not only performed in isolation but also work together to obtain subsentential interactions in text revision or dialog systems. The core of th...
