Domain Adaptation and Instance Selection for Disease Syndrome Classification over Veterinary Clinical Notes

Domain Adaptation and Instance Selection for Disease Syndrome Classification over Veterinary Clinical Notes Brian Hur author Timothy Baldwin author Karin Verspoor author Laura Hardefeldt author James Gilkerson author 2020-jul text Proceedings of the 19th SIGBioMed Workshop on Biomedical Language Processing Association for Computational Linguistics Online conference publication Identifying the reasons for antibiotic administration in veterinary records is a critical component of understanding antimicrobial usage patterns. This informs antimicrobial stewardship programs designed to fight antimicrobial resistance, a major health crisis affecting both humans and animals in which veterinarians have an important role to play. We propose a document classification approach to determine the reason for administration of a given drug, with particular focus on domain adaptation from one drug to another, and instance selection to minimize annotation effort. hur-etal-2020-domain https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.bionlp-1.17 2020-jul 156 166
