Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for detecting health outcomes from text ignore global structural correspondences between sentence-level and word-level information present in a given text. |
| Approach: | They propose a method that uses both word-level and sentence-level information to perform outcome span detection and outcome type classification. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method consistently outperforms decoupled methods, reporting competitive results. |
