Clinical Concept Linking with Contextualized Neural Representations (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Entity linking systems rely on three sources of information: 1) similarity between mention string and entity name; 2) similarity of context of document to entity; 3) broader information about knowledge base; 4) contextual information; 5) semantic information; and 6) semantic information. |
| Approach: | They propose an approach to linking medical concepts to a medical concept ontology that leverages recent work in contextualized neural models. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach outperforms a baseline approach and provides better initialization for the ranker. |
