A Clinical Information Extractor Integrated with Global Semantic Features via Dynamic Attention Mechanism

Abstract
Electronic medical records have been rolled out in the past decades to facilitate the medical exports’ daily routine. However, the number of electronic medical records increases dramatically, which also causes huge workloads for the front-line clinical workers when they face the writing-up work. In this sense, researchers in the artificial intelligence domain wish to automate this process by constructing a natural language processing system, and medical information extraction is one of the key steps amongst the entire work. In this paper, we focus on medical information extraction from doctor-patient dialogues, and propose a novel encoder-decoder model which incorporates global information into the dialogue windows. The experiment on the MIE dataset suggests our model outperforms the compared baseline models, and achieves the state-of-the-art results, which proves our model’s effectiveness.
