Natural language processing applied to mental illness detection: a narrative review

Mental illness is highly prevalent nowadays, constituting a major cause of distress in people's life with impact on society's health and well-being. Mental illness is a complex multi-factorial disease associated with individual risk factors...

BERT applications in natural language processing: a review

BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) has revolutionized Natural Language Processing (NLP) by significantly enhancing the capabilities of language models. This review study examines the complex nature of BERT, inclu...

On the Explainability of Natural Language Processing Deep Models

Despite their success, deep networks are used as black-box models with outputs that are not easily explainable during the learning and the prediction phases. This lack of interpretability is significantly limiting the adoption of such model...

Leveraging sentiment analysis of food delivery services reviews using deep learning and word embedding

Companies that deliver food (food delivery services, or FDS) try to use customer feedback to identify aspects where the customer experience could be improved. Consumer feedback on purchasing and receiving goods via online platforms is a cru...

Label-Guided Data Augmentation for Chinese Named Entity Recognition

Chinese named entity recognition (NER) is a fundamental natural language processing (NLP) task that involves identifying and categorizing entities in text. It plays a crucial role in applications such as information extraction, machine tran...

Natural language processing tools for computer assisted language learning

This paper illustrates the usefulness of natural language processing (NLP) tools for computer assisted language learning (CALL) through the presentation of three NLP tools integrated within a CALL software for French. These tools are (i) a ...

Gender biases in GPT-4 short biographies.

As has been shown in various studies considering different languages, in professional contexts women tend to be referred to differently than men. While men are typically referred to by their surname (e. g., Fermi), women are more often refe...

ScispaCy: Fast and Robust Models for Biomedical Natural Language Processing

Despite recent advances in natural language processing, many statistical models for processing text perform extremely poorly under domain shift. Processing biomedical and clinical text is a critically important application area of natural l...

Domain-Specific Language Model Pretraining for Biomedical Natural Language Processing

Pretraining large neural language models, such as BERT, has led to impressive gains on many natural language processing (NLP) tasks. However, most pretraining efforts focus on general domain corpora, such as newswire and Web. A prevailing a...

Stanza: A Python Natural Language Processing Toolkit for Many Human Languages

We introduce Sta n z a , an open-source Python natural language processing toolkit supporting 66 human languages.Compared to existing widely used toolkits, Sta n z a features a language-agnostic fully neural pipeline for text analysis, incl...

Natural Language Processing

Work in computational linguistics began very soon after the development of the first computers (Booth, Brandwood and Cleave 1958), yet in the intervening four decades there has been a pervasive feeling that progress in computer understandin...

Digital footprints as a tool to evaluate the spatiotemporal environmental impacts of grocery shopping across Great Britain

Introduction & Background Climate change represents one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Within this context, the food sector is a critical domain for intervention, accounting for approximately one-third of global greenhouse gas...

Feasibility of Hemolytic Disease of the Fetus and Newborn Case Ascertainment and Assessing Its Impact on Prenatal and Postnatal Outcomes: Protocol for Observational Studies

BackgroundHemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) is a rare but serious condition caused by maternal-fetal red blood cell antigen incompatibility. In an affected pregnancy, maternal immunoglobulin G antibodies cross the placenta a...

Which factors influence public perceptions of urban attractions? — A comparative study

To better serve the public, urban attractions must understand the public's likes and dislikes and continually adapt and optimize their service in response. However, traditional methods for gauging public opinion, such as questionnaires and ...

Thyroid Ultrasound Appropriateness Identification Through Natural Language Processing of Electronic Health Records

Objective: To address thyroid cancer overdiagnosis, we aim to develop a natural language processing (NLP) algorithm to determine the appropriateness of thyroid ultrasounds (TUS). Patients and Methods: Between 2017 and 2021, we identified 18...

Natural Language Processing for EHR-Based Computational Phenotyping

This article reviews recent advances in applying natural language processing (NLP) to Electronic Health Records (EHRs) for computational phenotyping. NLP-based computational phenotyping has numerous applications including diagnosis categori...
