Semi-self-supervised Automated ICD Coding. (arXiv:2205.10088v2 [cs.CL] UPDATED)

Clinical Text Notes (CTNs) contain physicians' reasoning process, written in
an unstructured free text format, as they examine and interview patients. In
recent years, several studies have been published that provide evidence for the
utility of machine learning for predicting doctors' diagnoses from CTNs, a task
known as ICD coding. Data annotation is time consuming, particularly when a
degree of specialization is needed, as is the case for medical data. This paper
presents a method of augmenting a sparsely annotated …
