About the seminar
There are ongoing efforts to create language resources and methods for clinical text in Spanish. In particular, having achievements in Latin American countries can serve to evaluate differences and join efforts done in Spain. This talk presents the latest results obtained at the Clinical Natural Language Processing Group at the University of Chile. This includes a new annotated corpus for named entity recognition, a model for patient classification deployed in a hospital, automatic coding of diseases and procedures in CIE, and an evaluation of the automatic translation of clinical sentences from English to Spanish.
