Explainable Prediction of Medical Codes from Clinical Text (N18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Clinical notes are text documents that are created by clinicians for each patient encounter. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that aggregates information across the document using a convolutional neural network and uses an attention mechanism to select the most relevant segments for each of the thousands of possible codes. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method is accurate and better than the current state of the art. |
