Clinical Text Classification of Medical Transcriptions Based on Different Diseases

Abstract

AbstractClinical text classification is the process of extracting the information from clinical narratives. Clinical narratives are the voice files, notes taken during a lecture, or other spoken material given by physicians. Because of the rapid rise in data in the healthcare sector, text mining and information extraction (IE) have acquired a few applications in the previous few years. This research attempts to use machine learning algorithms to diagnose diseases from the given medical transcriptions. Proposed clinical text classification models could decrease human efforts of labeled training data creation and feature engineering and for designing for applying machine learning models to clinical text classification by leveraging weak supervision. The main aim of this paper is to compare the multiclass logistic regression model and support vector classifier model which is implemented for performing clinical text classification on medical transcriptions.KeywordsClinical text miningTranscriptionsNatural language processingTF-IDF vectorizationscispaCyMulticlass logistic regressionSupport vector classifier
