Deep learning enhances biomedical-named entity recognition (bNER) for clinical records, improving treatment prediction. This advanced bNER approach offers more robust and efficient knowledge discovery in healthcare.
Area of Science:
- Biomedical informatics
- Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare
Background:
- Biomedical-named entity recognition (bNER) is crucial for extracting meaningful information from electronic health records (EHR).
- Traditional rule-based bNER systems struggle with the complexity of biomedical text.
- Deep learning (DL) has revolutionized bNER, enabling automated pattern learning for improved accuracy and efficiency.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review deep learning techniques for bNER in the healthcare domain.
- To explore the application of AI and DL in clinical records for treatment prediction.
- To systematically categorize bNER tools based on input, context, and tag architecture.
Main Methods:
- Review of deep learning-based biomedical-named entity recognition systems.
- Application of manual coding and multi-task learning for dataset creation.
- Systematic categorization of bNER tools (encoder/decoder models).
Main Results:
- Deep learning significantly improves the robustness and efficiency of bNER systems compared to traditional methods.
- Categorization of bNER tools provides insights into input, context, and tag distributions.
- The study highlights the potential of bNER for treatment prediction in clinical records.
Conclusions:
- Deep learning-based bNER is a powerful tool for advancing biomedical informatics and healthcare.
- Challenges and future directions for bNER in the healthcare field are discussed.
- bNER facilitates knowledge discovery and treatment prediction from complex clinical data.
