Clinical narratives provide comprehensive patient information. Achieving interoperability involves mapping relevant details to standardized medical vocabularies. Typically, natural language processing divides this task into named entity recognition …
Most clinical information is only available as free text. Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly applied to clinical data to streamline communication, enhance the accuracy of clinical documentation, and ultimately improve healthcare delivery. …
Word vector representations, known as embeddings, are commonly used for natural language processing. Particularly, contextualized representations have been very successful recently. In this work, we analyze the impact of contextualized and …
Scientific publications about the application of machine learning models in healthcare often focus on improving performance metrics. However, beyond often short-lived improvements, many additional aspects need to be taken into consideration to make …
This study presents the outcomes of the shared task competition BioCreative VII (Task 3) focusing on the extraction of medication names from a Twitter user’s publicly available tweets (the user’s ‘timeline’). In general, detecting health-related …
Introduction: Artificial intelligence–driven decision support systems (AI–DSS) have the potential to help physicians analyze data and facilitate the search for a correct diagnosis or suitable intervention. The potential of such systems is often …
Patient care after kidney transplantation requires integration of complex information to make informed decisions on risk constellations. Many machine learning models have been developed for detecting patient outcomes in the past years. However, …
