Congratulations for the Phd stipend from the PhD Visiting Program 2023 from Center for Mathematical Modeling (CMM) at the University of Chile, (Universidad de Chile) in Santiago, Chile. This will make it possible for Thomas Vakili to visit the center during three months the fall of 2023 and work with privacy preserving methods for Chilean patient records jointly with Dr. Jocelyn Dunstan that invited Thomas.
Alexander Dolk presented his and Hjalmar Davidsen master thesis in form of a scientific paper with the title Evaluation of LIME and SHAP in Explaining Automatic ICD-10 Classifications of Swedish Gastrointestinal Discharge Summaries at the 18th Scandinavian Conference on Health Informatics, SHI 2022, 22-23 Aug, 2022 i Tromsø, Norway, both supervisor Thomas Vakili and I were also part of the paper.
The research work were part of the ClinCode project in Tromsø. At the conference another paper also from the ClinCode project was presented with title The Influence of NegEx on ICD-10 Code Prediction in Swedish: How is the Performance of BERT and SVM Models Affected by Negations? by Andrius Budrionis, Taridzo Chomutare, Therese Olsen Svenning and Hercules Dalianis.
There is a conference report from SHI 2022 available upon request to Hercules.
Three papers accepted to the International Conference Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing, RANLP 2021, September 1-3, 2021 in Varna, Bulgaria,
from the Clinical Text Mining group at DSV:
Sonja Remmer, Anastasios Lamproudis and Hercules Dalianis.
Multi-label Diagnosis Classification of Swedish Discharge Summaries – ICD-10 Code Assignment Using KB-BERT.
Alberto Blanco, Sonja Remmer, Alicia Pérez, Hercules Dalianis and Arantza Casillas.
On the contribution of per-ICD attention mechanisms to classify health records in languages with fewer resources than English.
Anastasios Lamproudis, Aron Henriksson and Hercules Dalianis.
Developing a Clinical Language Model for Swedish: Continued Pretraining of Generic BERT with In-Domain Data.
The first paper in collaboration with the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research in Tromsø. Norway and the second paper also with the HiTZ Center – Ixa, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, Donostia, Spain.
The two first papers study how to automatically assign ICD-10 diagnosis codes to a discharge summary, for Swedish and for Spanish a respectively. Usually this time consuming work is carried out manually by a physician or a coder.We use machine learning and specifically Deep AI Learning to perform this and already manually assign codes to discharges summaries.
In the third paper is constructed a clinical deep learning BERT model for Swedish that performs much better than a regular non-clinical model for clinical down stream tasks as for example automatic ICD-10 diagnosis coding.

Title: (Predicting) replication outcomes
Abstract
Why are there so many false positive results in the published
scientific literature? And what is the actual share of results
that do not replicate in different literatures in the experimental
social sciences? I will discuss several recent large replication
projects, as well as our studies on “wisdom-of-crowds” mechanisms
like prediction markets and forecasting surveys where researchers
attempt to predict replication outcomes as well as new outcomes.Time: Wednesday May 12, 2021, 13-14.00Recording

Three papers from the Clinical Text Mining group accepted to the Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics, NoDaLiDa 2021,
The project ClinCode – Computer-Assisted Clinical ICD-10 Coding for improving efficiency and quality in healthcare has been funded by Research Council of Norway for 2021-2023 at the Norwegian Centre for E-health Research in Tromsø. ClinCode will be using both Norwegian and Swedish electronic patient records and will therefore partly take part at DSV. Partners are DIPS, that is supplier of electronic health record systems in Norway and UNN, University Hospital of North Norway.
