Stud Health Technol Inform. 2023 May 18:302:815-816. doi: 10.3233/SHTI230273.

Abstract

Diagnosis classification in the emergency room (ER) is a complex task. We developed several natural language processing classification models, looking both at the full classification task of 132 diagnostic categories and at several clinically applicable samples consisting of two diagnoses that are hard to distinguish.

Keywords: Natural language processing; diagnosis classification; emergency medicine.
