| Challenge: | a new dataset for clinical coding in Russian is available for download . human coders must navigate a wide array of medical terminology and time pressures . |
| Approach: | They present a new dataset for ICD coding in Russian, a language with limited biomedical resources. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves accuracy on an in-house EHR dataset from 2017 to 2021. |
Cross-Lingual UMLS Named Entity Linking using UMLS Dictionary Fine-Tuning (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | a new method for named entity linking is being developed in the field of public health . it uses an offline unsupervised construction of a translated dictionary and a pre-trained transformer language model to filter candidates according to context. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for mapping mentions in a source language to UMLS concepts . they extend an offline unsupervised translation of a translated UMLS dictionary . |
| Outcome: | The proposed approach achieves state-of-the-art on the Hebrew Camoni corpus and English datasets. |
Biomedical term normalization of EHRs with UMLS (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Currently, there is no tool for this language and for this specific purpose. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual and cross-lingual tool that searches for biomedical terms in clinical texts with the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus. |
| Outcome: | The proposed tool performs biomedical term normalization in clinical texts with the unified medical language system (UMLS) Metathesaurus . it is based on Apache Lucene TM and is available on-line 2 . |
BioRead: A New Dataset for Biomedical Reading Comprehension (L18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | BioRead is a publicly available cloze-style biomedical machine reading comprehension (MRC) dataset with 16.4 million passage-question instances. |
| Approach: | They propose to build a cloze-style biomedical machine reading comprehension (MRC) dataset with 16.4 million passage-question instances. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baselines on bioReadLite and bioASQ, and is currently the best on BioReadLite. |
