Abstract
A significant volume of medical data remains unstructured. Natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning (ML) techniques have shown to successfully extract insights from radiology reports. However, the codependent effects of NLP and ML in this context have not been well-studied. Between April 1, 2015 and November 1, 2016, 9418 cross-sectional abdomen/pelvis CT and MR examinations containing our internal structured reporting element for cancer were separated into four categories: Progression, Stable Disease, Improvement, or No Cancer. We combined each of three NLP techniques with five ML algorithms to predict the assigned label using the unstructured report text and compared the performance of each combination. The three NLP algorithms included term frequency-inverse document frequency (TF-IDF), term frequency weighting (TF), and 16-bit feature hashing. The ML algorithms included logistic regression (LR), random decision forest (RDF), one-vs-all support vector machine (SVM), one-vs-all Bayes point machine (BPM), and fully connected neural network (NN). The best-performing NLP model consisted of tokenized unigrams and bigrams with TF-IDF. Increasing N-gram length yielded little to no added benefit for most ML algorithms....Continue Reading
