  • Type: automatic
  • Task: primary
  • MD5: f11f735d8690209f7748625d8d1a4705
  • Run description: This system consists of three modules: 1) query generation module 2) retrieval module and 3) neural re-ranker. The query generation module that relied on IBM Watson Annotator for Clinical Data service, a medical domain NLP service featuring a variety of annotators for detecting metadata such as entities, concepts, concept values, negated spans, hypothetical spans, and a collection of annotators that detect, normalize, and code medical and social findings from unstructured clinical data. Next, based on the observations we made through experimentation on SIGIR-2016 corpora, we developed several heuristics to assign weights to the extracted metadata that can serve as weighted adhoc queries. Finally, these weights along with the metadata, are fed into the retrieval module that includes a) Lucene and b) transformer based semantic textual similarity (STS) model. Next, we select top-N clinical trials for each topic using the ensemble of scores from the retrieval model that are fed into a neural re-ranker. The neural re-ranker is a novel deep learning pipeline that includes two deep learning architectures. As a first step, we trained a state-of-the-art joint concept and relation extraction model using Chia, a large-annotated corpus of clinical trial eligibility criteria for concept and relation extraction from topics. In the next step, we generated silver standard training data by jointly leveraging the structured and unstructured information in MIMIC-III clinical database and structured information in clinical trials. This results approximately 700K potential positive candidates which we used to train a transformer-based learning-to-rank model that leverages outputs from CHIA in addition to novel attention mechanisms to re-rank the relevant clinical trials given a topic.

  • Run description: This system consists of two modules 1) query generation module and 2) retriever. As a first step, we developed an unsupervised query generation module that relied on IBM Watson Annotator for Clinical Data service, a medical domain NLP service featuring a variety of annotators for detecting metadata such as entities, concepts, concept values, negated spans, hypothetical spans, and a collection of annotators that detect, normalize, and code medical and social findings from unstructured clinical data. Next, based on the observations we made through experimentation on SIGIR-2016 corpora, we developed several heuristics to assign weights to the extracted metadata that can serve as weighted adhoc queries. Finally, these weights along with the metadata, are used to retrieve trials using a lucene index. Trials are indexed with the condition and intervention name. We search these fields using the weighted ad-hoc queries, with the weights serving as boosts, and rank by BM25 score.

In summary, Low-dimensional representations are obtained for all the conditions and interventions present in the trials and the extracted metadata of each topic. Next, we measure weight normalized pairwise cosine similarity between a topic and the low-dimensional representations of all the trails to rank them.
