• Title: Adverse Childhood Experiences Identification from Clinical Notes with Ontologies and NLP
• Authors: Jinge Wu, Rowena Smith, Honghan Wu
• Abstract summary: We are developing a tool that would use NLP techniques to assist us in surfacing ACEs from clinical notes. This will enable us further research in identifying evidence of the relationship between ACEs and the subsequent developments of mental illness.

• Abstract: Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are defined as a collection of highly stressful, and potentially traumatic, events or circumstances that occur throughout childhood and/or adolescence. They have been shown to be associated with increased risks of mental health diseases or other abnormal behaviours in later lives. However, the identification of ACEs from free-text Electronic Health Records (EHRs) with Natural Language Processing (NLP) is challenging because (a) there is no NLP ready ACE ontologies; (b) there are limited cases available for machine learning, necessitating the data annotation from clinical experts. We are currently developing a tool that would use NLP techniques to assist us in surfacing ACEs from clinical notes. This will enable us further research in identifying evidence of the relationship between ACEs and the subsequent developments of mental illness (e.g., addictions) in large-scale and longitudinal free-text EHRs, which has previously not been possible.

  This paper presents meticulously curated AIready datasets covering multi-modal data (e.g., drug molecule, disease code, text, categorical/numerical features) and 8 crucial prediction challenges in clinical trial design. We provide basic validation methods for each task to ensure the datasets' usability and reliability. We anticipate that the availability of such open-access datasets will catalyze the development of advanced AI approaches for clinical trial design.

  We survey the literature on the techniques that have been developed to utilise digital health records to identify risks of familial diseases. We highlight that rule-based methods are heavily investigated and are still actively used for family history extraction. More recent efforts have been put into building neural models based on large-scale pre-trained language models.

  In total, we extracted 477 risk factors in 10 categories from 537 studies. Genetic testing for AD/ADRD is still not a common practice and is poorly documented in both structured and unstructured EHRs. Considering the constantly evolving research on AD/ADRD risk factors, literature mining via NLP methods offers a solution to automatically update our knowledge map.

  Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) have been shown to be associated with increased risks of mental health diseases or other abnormal behaviours in later lives. The identification of ACEs from textual data with Natural Language Processing (NLP) is challenging because there are no NLP ready ACE. We present an ontology-driven self-supervised approach for producing a publicly available resource that would support large-scale machine learning.

We propose a novel computational resource platform, CREATe, for extracting, indexing, and querying the contents of clinical case reports.

• Predicting Early Indicators of Cognitive Decline from Verbal Utterances [2.387625146176821]
  Dementia is a group of irreversible, chronic, and progressive neurodegenerative disorders resulting in impaired memory, communication, and thought processes. We measure the feasibility of using the linguistic characteristics of verbal utterances elicited during neuropsychological exams to distinguish between elderly control groups, people with MCI, people diagnosed with possible Alzheimer's disease (AD), and probable AD. Our experiments show that a combination of contextual and psycholinguistic features extracted by a Support Vector Machine improved distinguishing the verbal utterances of elderly controls, people with MCI, possible AD, and probable AD.
