Jointly Learning Clinical Entities and Relations with Contextual Language Models and Explicit Context

no code implementations17 Feb 2021 Paul Barry, Sam Henry, Meliha Yetisgen, Bridget McInnes, Ozlem Uzuner

We hypothesize that explicit integration of contextual information into an Multi-task Learning framework would emphasize the significance of context for boosting performance in jointly learning Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Relation Extraction (RE).
