EHRs records contain valuable information in unstructured format, and standardizing them has the potential to improve healthcare systems and led to save lives. 🏥

The methodology presented, called the Neuro-Symbolic System for Cancer (NSSC), is an end-to-end tool that enhances the named entity recognition and linking tasks. It is presented as an optimization problem to normalize free text as a low-cost solution. Additionally, it is designed as a disease-specific contextual adaptability framework, which allows it to be adapted to other diseases beyond cancer and to others vocabularies. The only ad-hoc step required is the generation of clinical entities, as an annotated corpus is needed to train this model. 📚

I hope you find this work useful and that it contributes to the emerging field of neuro-symbolic systems. By using this hybrid methodology, we can achieve interpretable solutions in a cost-effective manner.  ⚖️
