Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a significant errand in Natural Language Processing (NLP) applications like Information Extraction, Question Answering and so on. In this paper, factual way to deal with perceive Kannada named substances like individual name, area name, association name, number, estimation and time is proposed. We have achieved higher accuracy in CRF approach than the in HMM approach. The accuracy of classification is more accurate in CRF approach due to flexibility of adding more features unlike joint probability alone as in HMM. In HMM it is not practical to represent multiple overlapping features and long term dependencies. CRF ++ Tool Kit is used for experimentation. The consequences of acknowledgment are empowering and the approach has the exactness around 86%.

Pathology Reports

PURPOSE Robust institutional tumor banks depend on continuous sample curation or else subsequent biopsy or resection specimens are overlooked after initial enrollment. Curation automation is hindered by semistructured free-text clinical pathology notes, which complicate data abstraction. Our motivation is to develop a natural language processing method that dynamically identifies existing pathology specimen elements necessary for locating specimens for future use in a manner that can be re-implemented by other institutions. PATIENTS AND METHODS Pathology reports from patients with gastroesophageal cancer enrolled in The University of Chicago GI oncology tumor bank were used to train and validate a novel composite natural language processing-based pipeline with a supervised machine learning classification step to separate notes into internal (primary review) and external (consultation) reports; a named-entity recognition step to obtain label (accession number), location, date, and sublabels (block identifiers); and a results proofreading step. RESULTS We analyzed 188 pathology reports, including 82 internal reports and 106 external consult reports, and successfully extracted named entities grouped as sample information (label, date, location). Our approach identified up to 24 additional unique samples in external consult notes that could have been overlooked. Our classification model obtained 100% accuracy on the basis of 10-fold cross-validation. Precision, recall, and F1 for class-specific named-entity recognition models show strong performance. CONCLUSION Through a combination of natural language processing and machine learning, we devised a re-implementable and automated approach that can accurately extract specimen attributes from semistructured pathology notes to dynamically populate a tumor registry.

Insight Into

Background. Patients increasingly use asynchronous communication platforms to converse with care teams. Natural language processing (NLP) to classify content and automate triage of these messages has great potential to enhance clinical efficiency. We characterize the contents of a corpus of portal messages generated by patients using NLP methods. We aim to demonstrate descriptive analyses of patient text that can contribute to the development of future sophisticated NLP applications. Methods. We collected approximately 3,000 portal messages from the cardiology, dermatology, and gastroenterology departments at Mayo Clinic. After labeling these messages as either Active Symptom, Logistical, Prescription, or Update, we used NER (named entity recognition) to identify medical concepts based on the UMLS library. We hierarchically analyzed the distribution of these messages in terms of departments, message types, medical concepts, and keywords therewithin. Results. Active Symptom and Logistical content types comprised approximately 67% of the message cohort. The “Findings” medical concept had the largest number of keywords across all groupings of content types and departments. “Anatomical Sites” and “Disorders” keywords were more prevalent in Active Symptom messages, while “Drugs” keywords were most prevalent in Prescription messages. Logistical messages tended to have the lower proportions of “Anatomical Sites,”, “Disorders,”, “Drugs,”, and “Findings” keywords when compared to other message content types. Conclusions. This descriptive corpus analysis sheds light on the content and foci of portal messages. The insight into the content and differences among message themes can inform the development of more robust NLP models.

Usually taken as linguistic features by Part-Of-Speech (POS) tagging, Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a major task in Natural Language Processing (NLP). In this paper, we put forward a new comprehensive-embedding, considering three aspects, namely character-embedding, word-embedding, and pos-embedding stitched in the order we give, and thus get their dependencies, based on which we propose a new Character–Word–Position Combined BiLSTM-Attention (CWPC_BiAtt) for the Chinese NER task. Comprehensive-embedding via the Bidirectional Llong Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) layer can get the connection between the historical and future information, and then employ the attention mechanism to capture the connection between the content of the sentence at the current position and that at any location. Finally, we utilize Conditional Random Field (CRF) to decode the entire tagging sequence. Experiments show that CWPC_BiAtt model we proposed is well qualified for the NER task on Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) dataset and Weibo NER corpus. A high precision and recall were obtained, which verified the stability of the model. Position-embedding in comprehensive-embedding can compensate for attention-mechanism to provide position information for the disordered sequence, which shows that comprehensive-embedding has completeness. Looking at the entire model, our proposed CWPC_BiAtt has three distinct characteristics: completeness, simplicity, and stability. Our proposed CWPC_BiAtt model achieved the highest F-score, achieving the state-of-the-art performance in the MSRA dataset and Weibo NER corpus.

Named entity recognition (NER) is an indispensable and very important part of many natural language processing technologies, such as information extraction, information retrieval, and intelligent Q & A. This paper describes the development of the AL-CRF model, which is a NER approach based on active learning (AL). The algorithmic sequence of the processes performed by the AL-CRF model is the following: first, the samples are clustered using the k-means approach. Then, stratified sampling is performed on the produced clusters in order to obtain initial samples, which are used to train the basic conditional random field (CRF) classifier. The next step includes the initiation of the selection process which uses the criterion of entropy. More specifically, samples having the highest entropy values are added to the training set. Afterwards, the learning process is repeated, and the CRF classifier is retrained based on the obtained training set. The learning and the selection process of the AL is running iteratively until the harmonic mean F stabilizes and the final NER model is obtained. Several NER experiments are performed on legislative and medical cases in order to validate the AL-CRF performance. The testing data include Chinese judicial documents and Chinese electronic medical records (EMRs). Testing indicates that our proposed algorithm has better recognition accuracy and recall rate compared to the conventional CRF model. Moreover, the main advantage of our approach is that it requires fewer manually labelled training samples, and at the same time, it is more effective. This can result in a more cost effective and more reliable process.

Artificial Intelligence Technology

Along with studies on artificial intelligence technology, research is also being carried out actively in the field of natural language processing to understand and process people’s language, in other words, natural language. For computers to learn on their own, the skill of understanding natural language is very important. There are a wide variety of tasks involved in the field of natural language processing, but we would like to focus on the named entity registration and relation extraction task, which is considered to be the most important in understanding sentences. We propose DeNERT-KG, a model that can extract subject, object, and relationships, to grasp the meaning inherent in a sentence. Based on the BERT language model and Deep Q-Network, the named entity recognition (NER) model for extracting subject and object is established, and a knowledge graph is applied for relation extraction. Using the DeNERT-KG model, it is possible to extract the subject, type of subject, object, type of object, and relationship from a sentence, and verify this model through experiments.

Transformer-based language models pre-trained on large corpora have demonstrated good results on multiple natural language processing tasks for widely used languages including named entity recognition (NER). In this paper, we investigate the role of the BERT models in the NER task for Latvian. We introduce the BERT model pre-trained on the Latvian language data. We demonstrate that the Latvian BERT model, pre-trained on large Latvian corpora, achieves better results (81.91 F1-measure on average vs 78.37 on M-BERT for a dataset with nine named entity types, and 79.72 vs 78.83 on another dataset with seven types) than multilingual BERT and outperforms previously developed Latvian NER systems.
