      Clinical text contains many negated concepts since the physician excludes irrelevant symptoms when reasoning and concluding about the diagnosis. This study investigates the machine interpretation of negated symptoms and diagnoses using a rule-based negation detector and its influence on downstream text classification task. The study focuses on the effect of negated concepts and NegEx preprocessing ...

      With the recent advances in natural language processing and deep learning, the development of tools that can assist medical coders in ICD-10 diagnosis coding and increase their efficiency in coding discharges ummaries is significantly more viable than before. To that end, one important component in the development of these models is the datasets used to train them. In this study, such datasets are ...
