This article discusses the requirements of a formal specification for annotation temporal information in clinical narratives. We discuss implementation and extension ISO-TimeML annotating corpus notes, known as THYME corpus. To reflect task heavily inference-based reasoning demands domain, new guideline has been developed, “the Guidelines to (THYME-TimeML)”. clarify what relations merit annotation, we distinguish between linguistically-derived inferentially-derived orderings text. also apply...

Seventy-three patients with bite wounds (16 clenched-fist injuries, 18 human wounds, and 39 animal bites) were cultured aerobically anaerobically. A total of 33 34 bites injuries had aerobic or facultative bacteria isolated from their wounds. 224 strains isolated, the most frequent isolate being alpha-hemolytic streptococci (50 strains). Staphylococcus aureus was Penicillin-resistant gram-negative rods infrequently (12 Anaerobic in 16 88 anaerobic common various Bacteroides species (36

A review of published work in clinical natural language processing (NLP) may suggest that the negation detection task has been "solved." This proposes an optimizable solution does not equal a generalizable solution. We introduce new machine learning-based Polarity Module for detecting text, and extensively compare its performance across domains. Using four manually annotated corpora we show suffers when there is no in-domain development (for manual methods) or training data methods). Various...

A large percentage of medical information is in unstructured text format electronic record systems. Manual extraction from clinical notes extremely time consuming. Natural language processing has been widely used recent years for automatic texts. However, algorithms trained on data a single healthcare provider are not generalizable and error-prone due to the heterogeneity uniqueness documents. We develop two-stage federated natural method that enables utilization different hospitals or...

Classic methods for clinical temporal relation extraction focus on relational candidates within a sentence. On the other hand, break-through Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) are trained large quantities of arbitrary spans contiguous text instead sentences. In this study, we aim to build sentence-agnostic framework task CONTAINS extraction. We establish new state-of-the-art result task, 0.684F in-domain (0.055-point improvement) and 0.565F cross-domain...

Electronic health record (EHR) data is collected by individual institutions and often stored across locations in silos. Getting access to these difficult slow due security, privacy, regulatory, operational issues. We show, using ICU from 58 different hospitals, that machine learning models predict patient mortality can be trained efficiently without moving out of their silos a distributed strategy. propose new method, called Federated-Autonomous Deep Learning (FADL) trains part the model all...

Classifying whether concepts in an unstructured clinical text are negated is important unsolved task. New domain adaptation and transfer learning methods can potentially address this issue.We examine neural unsupervised methods, introducing a novel combination of with transformer-based to improve negation detection. We also want better understand the interaction between widely used bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) system methods.We use 4 datasets that annotated...

Abstract Animal tracking data are being collected more frequently, in greater detail, and on smaller taxa than ever before. These hold the promise to increase relevance of animal movement for understanding ecological processes, but this potential will only be fully realized if their accompanying location error is properly addressed. Historically, coarsely-sampled have proved invaluable large scale processes (e.g., home range, habitat selection, etc.), modern fine-scale unlock far...
