Multi-label clinical document classification: Impact of label-density

作者:

Highlights:

• Expert clinicians assign, manually, codes from the ICD-10 to health records.

• Neural Networks (NNs) are well suited for multi-label classication tasks.

• Challenges: infer models from data with low label-density and capture dependencies.

• Experiments: three NNs with label-consistency rectification on two corpora.

• Contribution: (1) show dependence of performance on label density (2) release software.
