Objectives:
To enable users with modest technical background to perform biomedical natural language processing (NLP).
Materials And Methods:
We developed medspacyV using the Python graphical programming tkinter library, following the model-view-controller (MVC) design pattern. The interface wraps around a rule-based pipeline for sentence splitting, section segmentation, concept identification, and negation detection.
Results:
The primary window allows the user to configure the project and NLP rules, execute the pipeline, and save the outputs into a table. A separate annotation viewer window can be launched to inspect the immediate or previous NLP outputs.
Discussion:
We developed medspacyV with three rationales: controllability, explainability, and economy. The rule-based approach is sufficient for many NLP use cases.
Conclusion:
The medspacyV program is publicly available at https://github.com/medspacy/medspacyV, targeting use by healthcare professionals and researchers in their NLP projects.
