A Cross-institutional Evaluation on Breast Cancer Phenotyping NLP Algorithms on Electronic Health Records

no code implementations15 Mar 2023 Sicheng Zhou, Nan Wang, LiWei Wang, Ju Sun, Anne Blaes, Hongfang Liu, Rui Zhang

We developed three types of NLP models (i. e., conditional random field, bi-directional long short-term memory and CancerBERT) to extract cancer phenotypes from clinical texts.

Detecting Reddit Users with Depression Using a Hybrid Neural Network SBERT-CNN

no code implementations3 Feb 2023 Ziyi Chen, Ren Yang, Sunyang Fu, Nansu Zong, Hongfang Liu, Ming Huang

In this work, we propose a hybrid deep learning model which combines a pretrained sentence BERT (SBERT) and convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect individuals with depression with their Reddit posts.

Development of an Extractive Clinical Question Answering Dataset with Multi-Answer and Multi-Focus Questions

no code implementations7 Jan 2022 Sungrim Moon, Huan He, Hongfang Liu, Jungwei W. Fan

Specifically, the 1-to-N, M-to-1, and M-to-N drug-reason relations were included to form the multi-answer and multi-focus QA entries, which represent more complex and natural challenges in addition to the basic one-drug-one-reason cases.

An Empirical Study of UMLS Concept Extraction from Clinical Notes using Boolean Combination Ensembles

no code implementations4 Aug 2021 Greg M. Silverman, Raymond L. Finzel, Michael V. Heinz, Jake Vasilakes, Jacob C. Solinsky, Reed McEwan, Benjamin C. Knoll, Christopher J. Tignanelli, Hongfang Liu, Hua Xu, Xiaoqian Jiang, Genevieve B. Melton, Serguei VS Pakhomov

Our objective in this study is to investigate the behavior of Boolean operators on combining annotation output from multiple Natural Language Processing (NLP) systems across multiple corpora and to assess how filtering by aggregation of Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus concepts affects system performance for Named Entity Recognition (NER) of UMLS concepts.

Real space topological invariant and higher-order topological Anderson insulator in two-dimensional non-Hermitian systems

no code implementations24 Feb 2021 Hongfang Liu, Ji-Kun Zhou, Bing-Lan Wu, Zhi-Qiang Zhang, Hua Jiang

We study the characterization and realization of higher-order topological Anderson insulator (HOTAI) in non-Hermitian systems, where the non-Hermitian mechanism ensures extra symmetries as well as gain and loss disorder. We illuminate that the quadrupole moment $Q_{xy}$ can be used as the real space topological invariant of non-Hermitian higher-order topological insulator (HOTI).

Comparisons of Graph Neural Networks on Cancer Classification Leveraging a Joint of Phenotypic and Genetic Features

no code implementations14 Jan 2021 David Oniani, Chen Wang, Yiqing Zhao, Andrew Wen, Hongfang Liu, Feichen Shen

We applied and compared eight GNN models including AGNN, ChebNet, GAT, GCN, GIN, GraphSAGE, SGC, and TAGCN on the Mayo Clinic cancer disease dataset and assessedtheir performance as well as compared them with each other and with more conventional machinelearning models such as decision tree, gradient boosting, multi-layer perceptron, naive bayes, andrandom forest which we used as the baselines.

Clinical Concept Extraction: a Methodology Review

no code implementations24 Oct 2019 Sunyang Fu, David Chen, Huan He, Sijia Liu, Sungrim Moon, Kevin J Peterson, Feichen Shen, Li-Wei Wang, Yanshan Wang, Andrew Wen, Yiqing Zhao, Sunghwan Sohn, Hongfang Liu

Background Concept extraction, a subdomain of natural language processing (NLP) with a focus on extracting concepts of interest, has been adopted to computationally extract clinical information from text for a wide range of applications ranging from clinical decision support to care quality improvement.

Staggered NLP-assisted refinement for Clinical Annotations of Chronic Disease Events

no code implementations LREC 2016 Stephen Wu, Chung-Il Wi, Sunghwan Sohn, Hongfang Liu, Young Juhn

Domain-specific annotations for NLP are often centered on real-world applications of text, and incorrect annotations may be particularly unacceptable.
