Welcome to Week 1! We start this week by getting familiar with the process of information extraction. We will see specific techniques, such as regular expressions to extract information. We will also cover several evaluation approaches for information extraction. Let's get started!
Week 2 | Named Entity Recognition (NER)
Welcome to Week 2! We continue exploring information extraction methods and processes this week. We will learn about terminology resources available for medical concepts, and using these resources, develop an end-to-end pipeline to extract text fields from health text. Let's get started!
Week 3 | Sequential Classification
Welcome to Week 3! This week, we will learn how to formulate medical information extraction as a sequential classification task. In doing so, we will learn how to use an annotated clinical text dataset, to train a machine learning model. Let's get started!
Week 4 | Introduction to Advanced Approaches to NER in Health
Welcome to Week 4! We end our course by exploring advanced methods in information extraction using AI tools. Specifically, we will learn about neural network model to identify medical concepts from clinical text, and how to apply a trained machine learning model for a medical information extraction task. Let's get started!
