Comparing the Intrinsic Performance of Clinical Concept Embeddings by Their Field of Medicine (D19-62)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work has trained medical embeddings to rep-resent medical concepts using specific medical data. |
| Approach: | They use intrinsic methods to evaluate pre-trained word embeddings from the various fields of medicine as defined by their ICD-9 systems. |
| Outcome: | The results show that the embeddings perform better in one field of medicine than in other fields. |
