Extracting Social Support and Social Isolation Information from Clinical Psychiatry Notes: Comparing a Rule-based NLP System and a Large Language Model
For extracting subcategories, the RBS also outperformed the LLM at both MSHS (0. 90 vs. 0. 62) and WCM (0. 82 vs. 0. 81).
SODA: A Natural Language Processing Package to Extract Social Determinants of Health for Cancer Studies
Objective: We aim to develop an open-source natural language processing (NLP) package, SODA (i. e., SOcial DeterminAnts), with pre-trained transformer models to extract social determinants of health (SDoH) for cancer patients, examine the generalizability of SODA to a new disease domain (i. e., opioid use), and evaluate the extraction rate of SDoH using cancer populations.
AD-BERT: Using Pre-trained contextualized embeddings to Predict the Progression from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease
Materials and Methods: We identified 3657 patients diagnosed with MCI together with their progress notes from Northwestern Medicine Enterprise Data Warehouse (NMEDW) between 2000-2020.
A Study of Social and Behavioral Determinants of Health in Lung Cancer Patients Using Transformers-based Natural Language Processing Models
In this study, we examined two state-of-the-art transformer-based NLP models, including BERT and RoBERTa, to extract SBDoH concepts from clinical narratives, applied the best performing model to extract SBDoH concepts on a lung cancer screening patient cohort, and examined the difference of SBDoH information between NLP extracted results and structured EHRs (SBDoH information captured in standard vocabularies such as the International Classification of Diseases codes).
Characterization of Time-variant and Time-invariant Assessment of Suicidality on Reddit using C-SSRS
In this work, we address this knowledge gap by developing deep learning algorithms to assess suicide risk in terms of severity and temporality from Reddit data based on the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS).
A Machine Learning Approach to Detect Suicidal Ideation in US Veterans Based on Acoustic and Linguistic Features of Speech
Among classical machine learning algorithms, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) trained on acoustic features performed best in classifying suicidal Veterans.
Identifying Sub-Phenotypes of Acute Kidney Injury using Structured and Unstructured Electronic Health Record Data with Memory Networks
Sub-phenotype III is with average age 65. 07$ \pm 11. 32 $ years, and was characterized moderate loss of kidney excretory function and thus more likely to develop stage II AKI (SCr $1. 69\pm 0. 32$ mg/dL, eGFR $93. 97\pm 56. 53$ mL/min/1. 73$m^2$).
Evaluating the Portability of an NLP System for Processing Echocardiograms: A Retrospective, Multi-site Observational Study
While the NLP system showed high precision and recall measurements for four target concepts (aortic valve regurgitation, left atrium size at end systole, mitral valve regurgitation, tricuspid valve regurgitation) across all sites, we found moderate or poor results for the remaining concepts and the NLP system performance varied between individual sites.
Fusing Visual, Textual and Connectivity Clues for Studying Mental Health
With ubiquity of social media platforms, millions of people are sharing their online persona by expressing their thoughts, moods, emotions, feelings, and even their daily struggles with mental health issues voluntarily and publicly on social media.
Developing a Portable Natural Language Processing Based Phenotyping System
Our system facilitates portable phenotyping of obesity and its 15 comorbidities based on the unstructured patient discharge summaries, while achieving a performance that often ranked among the top 10 of the challenge participants.
Semi-Supervised Approach to Monitoring Clinical Depressive Symptoms in Social Media
With the rise of social media, millions of people are routinely expressing their moods, feelings, and daily struggles with mental health issues on social media platforms like Twitter.
