Objective.To assess the importance of natural language processing (NLP) system for quality assurance of the radiological reports.Material and methods.Multilateral analysis of chest low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reports based on a commercially available cognitive NLP system was performed. The applicability of artificial intelligence for discrepancy identification in the report body and conclusion (quantitative analysis) and radiologist adherence to the Lung-RADS guidelines (qualitative analysis) was evaluated.Results.Quantitative analysis: in the 8.3% of cases LDCT reports contained discrepancies between text body and conclusion, i.e., lung nodule described only in body or conclusion. It carries potential risks and should be taken into account when performing a radiological study audit. Qualitative analysis: for the Lung-RADS 3 nodules, the recommended principles of patient management were used in 46%, for Lung-RADS 4A – in 42%, and for Lung-RADS 4B – in 49% of cases.Conclusion.The consistency of NLP system within the framework of radiological study audit was 95–96%. The system is applicable for the radiological study audit, i.e. large-scale automated analysis of radiological reports and other medical documents.

Through our experience during a large-scale public engagement exercise in Chile we draw conclusions to adapt and improve the Critical Debate Model to an online format. We highlight the importance of epistemic opposition and structured annotation for the execution of debates, while also exploring the possibilities of automated analysis using Natural Language Processing. We conclude by describing how an online version of the Critical Debate Model could be implemented.

Natural language processing (NLP) area of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has offered the scope to apply and integrate various other traditional AI fields. While the world was working on comparatively simpler aspects like constraint satisfaction and logical reasoning, the last decade saw a dramatic shift in the research. Now large-scale applications of statistical methods, such as machine learning and data mining are in the limelight. At the same time, the integration of this understanding with Computer Vision, a tech that deals with obtaining information from visual data through cameras will pave way to bring the AI enabled devices closer to a layman also. This paper gives an overview of implementation and trend analysis of such technology in Sales and ServiceSectors.

BACKGROUND: The renewed advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is inducing profound changes in the classic categories of technology professions and is creating the need for new specific skills. OBJECTIVE: Identify the gaps in terms of skills between academic training on AI in French engineering and Business Schools, and the requirements of the labour market. METHOD: Extraction of AI training contents from the schools’ websites and scraping of a job advertisements’ website. Then, analysis based on a text mining approach with a Python code for Natural Language Processing. RESULTS: Categorization of occupations related to AI. Characterization of three classes of skills for the AI market: Technical, Soft and Interdisciplinary. Skills’ gaps concern some professional certifications and the mastery of specific tools, research abilities, and awareness of ethical and regulatory dimensions of AI. CONCLUSIONS: A deep analysis using algorithms for Natural Language Processing. Results that provide a better understanding of the AI capability components at the individual and the organizational levels. A study that can help shape educational programs to respond to the AI market requirements.

The use of naturalistic stimuli, such as narrative movies, is gaining popularity in many fields, characterizing memory, affect, and decision-making. Narrative recall paradigms are often used to capture the complexity and richness of memory for naturalistic events. However, scoring narrative recalls is time-consuming and prone to human biases. Here, we show the validity and reliability of using a natural language processing tool, the Universal Sentence Encoder (USE), to automatically score narrative recall. We compared the reliability in scoring made between two independent raters (i.e., hand-scored) and between our automated algorithm and individual raters (i.e., automated) on trial-unique, video clips of magic tricks. Study 1 showed that our automated segmentation approaches yielded high reliability and reflected measures yielded by hand-scoring, and further that the results using USE outperformed another popular natural language processing tool, GloVe. In study two, we tested whether our automated approach remained valid when testing individual’s varying on clinically-relevant dimensions that influence episodic memory, age and anxiety. We found that our automated approach was equally reliable across both age groups and anxiety groups, which shows the efficacy of our approach to assess narrative recall in large-scale individual difference analysis. In sum, these findings suggested that machine learning approaches implementing USE are a promising tool for scoring large-scale narrative recalls and perform individual difference analysis for research using naturalistic stimuli.

In this paper we set forth an annotation model for dynamic modality in English and Spanish, given its relevance not only for contrastive linguistic purposes, but also for its impact on practical annotation tasks in the Natural Language Processing (NLP) community. An annotation scheme is proposed, which captures both the functional-semantic meanings and the language-specific realisations of dynamic meanings in both languages. The scheme is validated through a reliability study performed on a randomly selected set of one hundred and twenty sentences from the MULTINOT corpus, resulting in a high degree of inter-annotator agreement. We discuss our main findings and give attention to the difficult cases as they are currently being used to develop detailed guidelines for the large-scale annotation of dynamic modality in English and Spanish.

The use of databases those containing semantic relationships between words is becoming increasingly widespread in order to make natural language processing work more effective. Instead of the word-bag approach, the suggested semantic spaces give the distances between words, but they do not express the relation types. In this study, it is shown how semantic spaces can be used to find the type of relationship and it is compared with the template method. According to the results obtained on a very large scale, while is_a and opposite are more successful for semantic spaces for relations, the approach of templates is more successful in the relation types at_location, made_of and non relational.
