Natural language processing

Natural language processing (NLP) methods are designed to automatically process and analyze large amounts of textual data. The integration of this new-generation toolbox into sociology faces many challenges. NLP was institutionalized outsid...

Automation of a problem list using natural language processing

BACKGROUND: The medical problem list is an important part of the electronic medical record in development in our institution. To serve the functions it is designed for, the problem list has to be as accurate and timely as possible. However,...

Natural Language Processing

This book chapter focuses on natural language processing (NLP) and covers various applications such as classifying messages as spam or ham, sentiment analysis, and the use of Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT). T...

Neural Network Methods for Natural Language Processing

Deep learning has attracted dramatic attention in recent years, both in academia and industry. The popular term deep learning generally refers to neural network methods. Indeed, many core ideas and methods were born years ago in the era of ...

Using natural language processing to understand people and culture.

Language can provide important insights into people, and culture more generally. Further, the digitization of information has made more and more textual data available. But by itself, all that data are just that: data. Realizing its potenti...

Special Issue: Finite State Methods in Natural Language Processing

Finite state methods have been in common use in various areas of natural language processing (NLP) for many years. A series of specialized workshops in this area illustrates this. In 1996, András Kornai organized a very successful workshop...

Suicide Note Classification Using Natural Language Processing: A Content Analysis

Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 25-34 year olds and the third leading cause of death among 15-25 year olds in the United States. In the Emergency Department, where suicidal patients often present, estimating the risk of r...

Natural Language Processing

In the modern age of information and analytics, natural language processing (NLP) is one of the most important technologies out there. Making sense of complex structures in language and deriving insights and actions from it are crucial from...

Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing

Hints of the outbreak are detected through the modified circumstances favoring the outbreaks, like the warm weather contributing to epidermal outbreaks or the loss of sanitation leading to cholera outbreaks typically relying on the routine ...

Proceedings of the Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing - EMNLP '08

Welcome to the 2008 Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing! The conference is organized under the auspices of SIGDAT, the ACL Special Interest Group for linguistic data and corpus-based approaches to natural language...

New trends in natural language processing: statistical natural language processing.

The field of natural language processing (NLP) has seen a dramatic shift in both research direction and methodology in the past several years. In the past, most work in computational linguistics tended to focus on purely symbolic methods. R...

Using natural language processing technology for qualitative data analysis

Social researchers often apply qualitative research methods to study groups and their communications artifacts. The use of computer-mediated communications has dramatically increased the volume of text available, but coding such text requir...

A survey of uncertainty in deep neural networks

Abstract Over the last decade, neural networks have reached almost every field of science and become a crucial part of various real world applications. Due to the increasing spread, confidence in neural network predictions has become more a...

Neural networks in control systems

Some of the problems that arise in the control of nonlinear systems in the presence of uncertainty are considered. Multilayer neural networks and radial basis function networks are used in the design of identifiers and controllers, and grad...

Siamese Neural Networks: An Overview

A neural network approach to ordinal regression

Ordinal regression is an important type of learning, which has properties of both classification and regression. Here we describe an effective approach to adapt a traditional neural network to learn ordinal categories. Our approach is a gen...

A Survey on Neural Network Interpretability

Along with the great success of deep neural networks, there is also growing concern about their black-box nature. The interpretability issue affects people's trust on deep learning systems. It is also related to many ethical problems, e.g.,...

A renaissance of neural networks in drug discovery

INTRODUCTION: Neural networks are becoming a very popular method for solving machine learning and artificial intelligence problems. The variety of neural network types and their application to drug discovery requires expert knowledge to cho...

A neural-network-based detection of epilepsy

Diagnosis of epilepsy is primarily based on scalp-recorded electroencephalograms (EEG). Unfortunately the long-term recordings obtained from 'ambulatory recording systems' contain EEG data of up to one week duration, which has introduced ne...
