| Challenge: | Current models for clinical phenotyping are limited to clinical notes written in English due to the large amount of labeled and unlabeled clinical text resources. |
| Approach: | They propose to use translation-based methods with domain-specific encoders and cross-lingual encoder plus adapters to perform this task for clinics that do not use the English language. |
| Outcome: | The proposed strategies outperform the state-of-the-art models for clinics that do not use the English language and have a small amount of in-domain data available. |

Similarity Measures for the Detection of Clinical Conditions with Verbal Fluency Tasks (N18-2)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Semantic Verbal Fluency tests have been used in the diagnosis of certain clinical conditions, like Dementia. |
| Approach: | They investigate three similarity measures for automatically identifying switches in semantic chains: semantic similarity from a manually constructed resource, word association strength and semantic relatedness, both calculated from corpora. |
| Outcome: | The proposed classifiers outperform those that use a gold standard taxonomy for clinical conditions. |
