Building Timelines from Narrative Clinical Records: Initial Results Based-on Deep Natural Language Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an end-to-end system that processes narrative clinical records, constructs timelines for the medical histories of patients, and visualizes the results. This work is motivated by real clinical records and our general approach is based on deep semantic natural language understanding.

Narrative Hermeneutic Circle: Improving Character Role Identification from Natural Language Text via Feedback Loops
While most natural language understanding systems rely on a pipeline-based architecture, certain human text interpretation methods are based on a cyclic process between the whole text and its parts: the hermeneutic circle. In the task of automatically identifying characters and their narrative roles, we propose a feedback-loop-based approach where the output of later modules of the pipeline is ...

متن کاملAutomated Extraction of VTE Events From Narrative Radiology Reports in Electronic Health Records
BACKGROUND Surveillance of venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) is necessary for improving patient safety in acute care hospitals, but current detection methods are inaccurate and inefficient. With the growing availability of clinical narratives in an electronic format, automated surveillance using natural language processing (NLP) techniques may represent a better method. OBJECTIVE We assessed the...
متن کاملUsing narrative reports to support a digital library
The vast amount of information collected and stored in clinical systems can be a significant challenge in the integration of digital libraries and electronic medical records, especially the selection of clinical data to be used in the search, retrieval, and summarization processes. In this study, we describe the use of information retrieval measures with natural language processor output to ide...
