Towards Cross Language Morphologic Negation Identification in Electronic Health Records
نویسندگان
چکیده
The current paper presents an approach for analyzing the Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with the goal of automatically identifying morphologic negation such that swapping the truth values of concepts introduced by negation does not interfere with understanding the medical discourse. To identify morphologic negation we propose the RoPreNex strategy that represents the adaptation of our PreNex approach to the Romanian language [1]. We evaluate our proposed solution on the MTsamples [2] dataset. The results we obtained are promising and ensure a reliable negation identification approach in medical documents. We report precision of 92.62 % and recall of 93.60 % in case of the morphologic negation identification for the source language and an overall performance in the morphologic negation identification of 77.78 % precision and 80.77 % recall in case of the target language.

Some Aspects of Negation Processing in Electronic Health Records
The presented paper discusses a hybrid approach for negation processing in Electronic Health Records (EHRs) in Bulgarian. The rich temporal structure and the specific combination of medical terminology in both Bulgarian and Latin do not allow the application of standard language processing techniques. The problem gets even worse due to the often use of specific abbreviations, analyses and clini...

متن کاملCross-linguistic Validation of Processability Theory: The Case of EFL Iranian Students’ Speaking Skill
Abstract This study investigated the validity of processability theory proposed by Pienemann (1998/2015) among Iranian EFL learners’ oral performance. The theory defines six procedural stages for learners in the process of second language acquisition. In order to conduct the study, 10 intermediate EFL learners were selected based on their performance on Oxford Placement Test. Then, they partici...
