Medical Text Classification using Convolutional Neural Networks

Mark Hughes, Irene Li, Spyros Kotoulas et al.

We present an approach to automatically classify clinical text at a sentence level. We are using deep convolutional neural networks to represent complex features. We train the network on a dataset providing a broad categorization of health information. Through a detailed evaluation, we demonstrate that our method outperforms several approaches widely used in natural language processing tasks by about 15%.
