Biomedical-named entity recognition (bNER) is critical in biomedical informatics. It identifies biomedical entities with special meanings, such as people, places, and organizations, as predefined semantic types in electronic health records (EHR). bNER is essential for discovering novel knowledge using computational methods and Information Technology. Early bNER systems were configured manually to include domain-specific features and rules. However, these systems were limited in handling the complexity of the biomedical text. Recent advances in deep learning (DL) have led to the development of more powerful bNER systems. DL-based bNER systems can learn the patterns of biomedical text automatically, making them more robust and efficient than traditional rule-based systems. This paper reviews the healthcare domain of bNER, using DL techniques and artificial intelligence in clinical records, for mining treatment prediction. bNER-based tools are categorized systematically and represent the distribution of input, context, and tag (encoder/decoder). Furthermore, to create a labeled dataset for our machine learning sentiment analyzer to analyze the sentiment of a set of tweets, we used a manual coding approach and the multi-task learning method to bias the training signals with domain knowledge inductively. To conclude, we discuss the challenges facing bNER systems and future directions in the healthcare field.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the widespread use of social media platforms has facilitated the dissemination of information, fake news, and propaganda, serving as a vital source of self-reported symptoms related to Covid-19. Existing graph-based models, such as Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), have achieved notable success in Natural Language Processing (NLP). However, utilizing GNN-based models for propaganda detection remains challenging because of the challenges related to mining distinct word interactions and storing nonconsecutive and broad contextual data. In this study, we propose a Hierarchical Graph-based Integration Network (H-GIN) designed for detecting propaganda in text within a defined domain using multilabel classification. H-GIN is extracted to build a bi-layer graph inter-intra-channel, such as Residual-driven Enhancement and Processing (RDEP) and Attention-driven Multichannel feature Fusing (ADMF) with suitable labels at two distinct classification levels. First, RDEP procedures facilitate information interactions between distant nodes. Second, by employing these guidelines, ADMF standardizes the Tri-Channels 3-S (sequence, semantic, and syntactic) layer, enabling effective propaganda detection through related and unrelated information propagation of news representations into a classifier from the existing ProText, Qprop, and PTC datasets, thereby ensuring its availability to the public. The H-GIN model demonstrated exceptional performance, achieving an impressive 82% accuracy and surpassing current leading models. Notably, the model’s capacity to identify previously unseen examples across diverse openness scenarios at 82% accuracy using the ProText dataset was particularly significant.

Social media, fake news, and different propaganda strategies have all contributed to an increase in misinformation online during the past ten years. As a result of the scarcity of high-quality data, the present datasets cannot be used to train a deep-learning model, making it impossible to establish an identification. We used a natural language processing approach to the issue in order to create a system that uses deep learning to automatically identify propaganda in news items. To assist the scholarly community in identifying propaganda in text news, this study suggested the propaganda texts (ProText) library. Truthfulness labels are assigned to ProText repositories after being manually and automatically verified with fact-checking methods. Additionally, this study proposed using a fine-tuned Robustly Optimized BERT Pre-training Approach (RoBERTa) and word embedding using multi-label multi-class text classification. Through experimentation and comparative research analysis, we address critical issues and collaborate to discover answers. We achieved an evaluation performance accuracy of 90%, 75%, 68%, and 65% on ProText, PTC, TSHP-17, and Qprop, respectively. The big-data method, particularly with deep-learning models, can assist us in filling out unsatisfactory big data in a novel text classification strategy. We urge collaboration to inspire researchers to acquire, exchange datasets, and develop a standard aimed at organizing, labeling, and fact-checking.

The rapid growth of electronic health records (EHRs) has led to unprecedented biomedical data. Clinician access to the latest patient information can improve the quality of healthcare. However, clinicians have difficulty finding information quickly and easily due to the sheer data mining volume. Biomedical information retrieval (BIR) systems can help clinicians find the information required by automatically searching EHRs and returning relevant results. However, traditional BIR systems cannot understand the complex relationships between EHR entities. Transformers are a new type of neural network that is very effective for natural language processing (NLP) tasks. As a result, transformers are well suited for tasks such as machine translation and text summarization. In this paper, we propose a new BIR system for EHRs that uses transformers for predicting cancer treatment from EHR. Our system can understand the complex relationships between the different entities in an EHR, which allows it to return more relevant results to clinicians. We evaluated our system on a dataset of EHRs and found that it outperformed state-of-the-art BIR systems on various tasks, including medical question answering and information extraction. Our results show that Transformers are a promising approach for BIR in EHRs, reaching an accuracy and an F1-score of 86.46%, and 0.8157, respectively. We believe that our system can help clinicians find the information they need more quickly and easily, leading to improved patient care.
