Modelling Temporal Document Sequences for Clinical ICD Coding (2023.eacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing studies on the ICD coding task focus on extracting codes from the discharge summary, but there is potential to automate the task by identifying relevant information from clinical notes. |
| Approach: | They propose a hierarchical transformer architecture that uses text across the entire sequence of clinical notes in each hospital stay for ICD coding. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model exceeds the state-of-the-art when using only discharge summaries as input and achieves performance improvements when all clinical notes are used as input. |

Writing habits and telltale neighbors: analyzing clinical concept usage patterns with sublanguage embeddings (D19-62)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing biomedical concepts may have multiple, often non-compositional surface forms, making them difficult to analyze using lexical occurrence alone. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for characterizing usage patterns of clinical concepts among different document types by embedding concepts on clinical documents of different types and measuring their nearest neighborhood structures. |
| Outcome: | Experiments on the MIMIC-III corpus show that the proposed method captures clinically relevant differences in concept usage while correcting for noise in embedding learning. |
