Optimizing Relation Extraction in Medical Texts through Active Learning: A Comparative Analysis of Trade-offs

Example from n2c2 of relation extraction [1]  This work explores the effectiveness of employing Clinical BERT for Relation Extraction (RE) tasks in medical texts within an Active Learning (AL) framework. Our main objective is to optimize RE in medical texts through AL while examining the trade-offs between performance and computation Read more…

Building A German Clinical Named Entity Recognition System without In-domain Training Data 

Clinical Named Entity Recognition (NER) is essential for extracting important medical insights from clinical narratives. Given the challenges in obtaining expert training datasets for real-world clinical applications related to data protection regulations and the lack of standardised entity types, this work represents a collaborative initiative aimed at building a German Read more…
