Auxiliary Knowledge-Induced Learning for Automatic Multi-Label Medical Document Classification

arXiv:2405.19084v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is an authoritative medical classification system of different diseases and conditions for clinical and management purposes. ICD indexing assigns a subset of ICD codes to a medical record. Since human coding is labour-intensive and error-prone, many studies employ machine learning to automate the coding process. ICD coding is a challenging task, as it needs to assign multiple codes to each medical document from an extremely large hierarchically organized collection. …
