Kronecker Factorization for Preventing Catastrophic Forgetting in Large-scale Medical Entity Linking

no code implementations11 Nov 2021 Denis Jered McInerney, Luyang Kong, Kristjan Arumae, Byron Wallace, Parminder Bhatia

Elastic Weight Consolidation is a recently proposed method to address this issue, but scaling this approach to the modern large models used in practice requires making strong independence assumptions about model parameters, limiting its effectiveness.

Browsing Health: Information Extraction to Support New Interfaces for Accessing Medical Evidence

no code implementations WS 2019 Soham Parikh, Elizabeth Conrad, Oshin Agarwal, Iain Marshall, Byron Wallace, Ani Nenkova

Typical information needs, such as retrieving a full list of medical interventions for a given condition, or finding the reported efficacy of a particular treatment with respect to a specific outcome of interest cannot be straightforwardly posed in typical text-box search.

Syntactic Patterns Improve Information Extraction for Medical Search

no code implementations NAACL 2018 Roma Patel, Yinfei Yang, Iain Marshall, Ani Nenkova, Byron Wallace

Medical professionals search the published literature by specifying the type of patients, the medical intervention(s) and the outcome measure(s) of interest.

Aggregating and Predicting Sequence Labels from Crowd Annotations

1 code implementation ACL 2017 An Thanh Nguyen, Byron Wallace, Junyi Jessy Li, Ani Nenkova, Matthew Lease

MGNC-CNN: A Simple Approach to Exploiting Multiple Word Embeddings for Sentence Classification

no code implementations NAACL 2016 Ye Zhang, Stephen Roller, Byron Wallace

We introduce a novel, simple convolution neural network (CNN) architecture - multi-group norm constraint CNN (MGNC-CNN) that capitalizes on multiple sets of word embeddings for sentence classification.
