Despite remarkable advances in the development of language resources over the recent years, there is still a shortage of annotated, publicly available corpora covering (German) medical language. With the initial release of the German Guideline Program in Oncology NLP Corpus (GGPONC), we have demonstrated how such corpora can be built upon clinical...

Link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8861732/ Abstract: Clinical guidelines integrate latest evidence to support clinical decision-making. As new research findings are published at an increasing rate, it would be helpful to detect when such results disagree with current guideline recommendations. In this work, we describe a software...

Precision oncology is a rapidly evolving interdisciplinary medical specialty. Comprehensive cancer panels are becoming increasingly available at pathology departments worldwide, creating the urgent need for scalable cancer variant annotation and molecularly informed treatment recommendations. A wealth of mainly academia-driven knowledge bases calls...

Molecular tumor boards are an emerging platform for multidisciplinary oncology care specialists to assess treatment options based on the patient’s individual molecular tumor profile. However, they require complex manual preparation, e.g., data retrieval from widespread knowledge bases. We define clinical process models and a software prototype supp...

The lack of publicly accessible text corpora is a major obstacle for progress in natural language processing. For medical applications, unfortunately, all language communities other than English are low-resourced. In this work, we present GGPONC (German Guideline Program in Oncology NLP Corpus), a freely distributable German language corpus based o...

The lack of publicly available text corpora is a major obstacle for progress in clinical natural language processing, for non-English speaking countries in particular. In this work, we present GGPONC (German Guideline Program in Oncology NLP Corpus), a freely distributable German language corpus based on clinical practice guidelines in the field of...

In this master’s thesis, we investigate feature extraction techniques for event log traces. We provide an overview over the field of predictive monitoring and analyze existing trace profiles proposed in the literature. Based on this, we apply the results obtained in recent research on process discovery to find meaningful abstractions over related s...
