• Abstract summary: PainPoints is a framework that detects the sub-type of pain and generates clinical notes via summarizing the patient interviews. PainPoints makes use of large language models to perform sentence-level classification of the text obtained from interviews of FM and NP patients. We generate summaries of these interviews via expert interventions by introducing a novel facet-based approach.

• Abstract: Chronic pain is a pervasive disorder which is often very disabling and is associated with comorbidities such as depression and anxiety. Neuropathic Pain (NP) is a common sub-type which is often caused due to nerve damage and has a known pathophysiology. Another common sub-type is Fibromyalgia (FM) which is described as musculoskeletal, diffuse pain that is widespread through the body. The pathophysiology of FM is poorly understood, making it very hard to diagnose. Standard medications and treatments for FM and NP differ from one another and if misdiagnosed it can cause an increase in symptom severity. To overcome this difficulty, we propose a novel framework, PainPoints, which accurately detects the sub-type of pain and generates clinical notes via summarizing the patient interviews. Specifically, PainPoints makes use of large language models to perform sentence-level classification of the text obtained from interviews of FM and NP patients with a reliable AUC of 0.83. Using a sufficiency-based interpretability approach, we explain how the fine-tuned model accurately picks up on the nuances that patients use to describe their pain. Finally, we generate summaries of these interviews via expert interventions by introducing a novel facet-based approach. PainPoints thus enables practitioners to add/drop facets and generate a custom summary based on the notion of "facet-coverage" which is also introduced in this work.

  We propose a rewriting algorithm based on contrastive pretraining and perturbation-based rewriting. We create two datasets, OpenI-Annotated based on chest reports and VA-Annotated based on general medical reports. Our proposed algorithm effectively rewrites input sentences in a less ambiguous way with high content fidelity.

  Medical report generation (MRG) is essential for computer-aided diagnosis and medication guidance. Due to the spurious correlations within image-text data induced by visual and linguistic biases, it is challenging to generate accurate reports reliably describing lesion areas. We propose a novel Visual-Linguistic Causal Intervention (VLCI) framework for MRG, which consists of a visual deconfounding module (VDM) and a linguistic deconfounding module (LDM)

  This paper introduces the first chronic cancer pain dataset, collected as part of the Intelligent Sight and Sound (ISS) clinical trial. The data collected to date consists of 29 patients, 509 smartphone videos, 189,999 frames, and self-reported affective and activity pain scores. Using static images and multi-modal data to predict self-reported pain levels, early models show significant gaps between current methods available to predict pain.

  Chronic pain is recognized as a major health problem, with impacts not only at the economic, but also at the social, and individual levels. Being a private and subjective experience, it is impossible to externally and impartially experience, describe, and interpret chronic pain as a purely noxious stimulus. We propose and discuss a topic modelling approach to recognize patterns in verbal descriptions of chronic pain, and use these patterns to quantify and qualify experiences of pain.

  We present the Reddit Reports of Chronic Pain dataset, which comprises social media textual descriptions and discussion of various forms of chronic pain experiences. For each pathology, we identify the main concerns emergent of its consequent experience of chronic pain, as represented by a subset of documents explicitly related to it. We argue that our unsupervised semantic analysis of descriptions of chronic pain echoes clinical research on how different pathologies manifest in terms of the chronic pain experience.

  In clinical conversational applications, extracted entities tend to capture the main subject of a patient's complaint. In this paper, we design a two-stage approach to detect the characterizations of entities like symptoms presented by general users. We use Word2Vec and BERT to encode clinical text given by the patients. We combine the processed encodings with the Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) algorithm to classify the characterizations of the main entity.
