Information Extraction From Biomedical Text Using Machine Learning, Deepti Garg Dec 2019

Information Extraction From Biomedical Text Using Machine Learning, Deepti Garg

Master's Projects

Inadequate drug experimental data and the use of unlicensed drugs may cause adverse drug reactions, especially in pediatric populations. Every year the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approves human prescription drugs for marketing. The labels associated with these drugs include information about clinical trials and drug response in pediatric population. In order for doctors to make an informed decision about the safety and effectiveness of these drugs for children, there is a need to analyze complex and often unstructured drug labels. In this work, first, an exploratory analysis of drug labels using a Natural Language Processing pipeline is performed. Second, …


Glovenor - Global Vectors For Node Representations, Shishir Kulkarni May 2019

Glovenor - Global Vectors For Node Representations, Shishir Kulkarni

Master's Projects

A graph is a very powerful abstract data type that can be used to model entities (nodes) and relationships (edges). Many real world networks like biological, computer and friendship networks can be represented as graphs. Graphs can be mined to extract interesting patterns and interactions between the participating entities. Recently, various Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques are used for this purpose. In order to do that, the nodes of a graph have to be represented as low dimensional feature vectors. Node embedding is the process of generating a �-dimensional feature vector corresponding to each node of a …


Improving Neural Sequence Labelling Using Additional Linguistic Information, Muhammad Rifayat Samee Apr 2019

Improving Neural Sequence Labelling Using Additional Linguistic Information, Muhammad Rifayat Samee

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Sequence Labelling is the task of mapping sequential data from one domain to another domain. As we can interpret language as a sequence of words, sequence labelling is very common in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). In NLP, some fundamental sequence labelling tasks are Parts-of-Speech Tagging, Named Entity Recognition, Chunking, etc. Moreover, many NLP tasks can be modeled as sequence labelling or sequence to sequence labelling such as machine translation, information retrieval and question answering. An extensive amount of research has already been performed on sequence labelling. Most of the current high performing models are neural network models. …


Rule Mining And Sequential Pattern Based Predictive Modeling With Emr Data, Orhan Abar Jan 2019

Rule Mining And Sequential Pattern Based Predictive Modeling With Emr Data, Orhan Abar

Theses and Dissertations--Computer Science

Electronic medical record (EMR) data is collected on a daily basis at hospitals and other healthcare facilities to track patients’ health situations including conditions, treatments (medications, procedures), diagnostics (labs) and associated healthcare operations. Besides being useful for individual patient care and hospital operations (e.g., billing, triaging), EMRs can also be exploited for secondary data analyses to glean discriminative patterns that hold across patient cohorts for different phenotypes. These patterns in turn can yield high level insights into disease progression with interventional potential. In this dissertation, using a large scale realistic EMR dataset of over one million patients visiting University of …
