Information extraction for highly specialized and critical domains
The digitization of hospital information systems has created a tremendous amount of health-related data. More particularly, electronic health records (EHRs) which contain valuable patient information are largely available in unstructured text format which cannot be analyzed easily without domain experts. Thus, there is a need to automate the extraction of precise and valuable information which can be then applied to various healthcare services such as assisting medical professionals, healthcare researchers, and patients.
