Comparing three natural language processing methods for the automatic identification of epilepsy patients from French clinical notes

Both the rule-based and the pretrained language models achieved high performance. These algorithms can automatically identify patients with epilepsy from unstructured clinical notes in French data warehouses, supporting large-scale phenotyping and the detection of epilepsy as a comorbidity.

Abstract

Both the rule-based and the pretrained language models achieved high performance. These algorithms can automatically identify patients with epilepsy from unstructured clinical notes in French data warehouses, supporting large-scale phenotyping and the detection of epilepsy as a comorbidity.
