Book Synopsis Clinical Text Mining by : Hercules Dalianis

Download or read book Clinical Text Mining written by Hercules Dalianis. This book was released on 2018-05-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book describes the results of natural language processing and machine learning methods applied to clinical text from electronic patient records. It is divided into twelve chapters. Chapters 1-4 discuss the history and background of the original paper-based patient records, their purpose, and how they are written and structured. These initial chapters do not require any technical or medical background knowledge. The remaining eight chapters are more technical in nature and describe various medical classifications and terminologies such as ICD diagnosis codes, SNOMED CT, MeSH, UMLS, and ATC. Chapters 5-10 cover basic tools for natural language processing and information retrieval, and how to apply them to clinical text. The difference between rule-based and machine learning-based methods, as well as between supervised and unsupervised machine learning methods, are also explained. Next, ethical concerns regarding the use of sensitive patient records for research purposes are discussed, including methods for de-identifying electronic patient records and safely storing patient records. The book’s closing chapters present a number of applications in clinical text mining and summarise the lessons learned from the previous chapters. The book provides a comprehensive overview of technical issues arising in clinical text mining, and offers a valuable guide for advanced students in health informatics, computational linguistics, and information retrieval, and for researchers entering these fields.

Book Synopsis Text Mining of Web-Based Medical Content by : Amy Neustein

Download or read book Text Mining of Web-Based Medical Content written by Amy Neustein. This book was released on 2014-10-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Includes Text Mining and Natural Language Processing Methods for extracting information from electronic health records and biomedical literature. • Analyzes text analytic tools for new media such as online forums, social media posts, tweets and video sharing. • Demonstrates how to use speech and audio technologies for improving access to online content for the visually impaired. Text Mining of Web-Based Medical Content examines various approaches to deriving high quality information from online biomedical literature, electronic health records, query search terms, social media posts and tweets. Using some of the latest empirical methods of knowledge extraction, the authors show how online content, generated by both professionals and laypersons, can be mined for valuable information about disease processes, adverse drug reactions not captured during clinical trials, and tropical fever outbreaks. Additionally, the authors show how to perform infromation extraction on a hospital intranet, how to build a social media search engine to glean information about patients' own experiences interacting with healthcare professionals, and how to improve access to online health information. This volume provides a wealth of timely material for health informatic professionals and machine learning, data mining, and natural language researchers. Topics in this book include: • Mining Biomedical Literature and Clinical Narratives • Medication Information Extraction • Machine Learning Techniques for Mining Medical Search Queries • Detecting the Level of Personal Health Information Revealed in Social Media • Curating Layperson’s Personal Experiences with Health Care from Social Media and Twitter • Health Dialogue Systems for Improving Access to Online Content • Crowd-based Audio Clips to Improve Online Video Access for the Visually Impaired • Semantic-based Visual Information Retrieval for Mining Radiographic Image Data • Evaluating the Importance of Medical Terminology in YouTube Video Titles and Descriptions
