This book summarises the achievements of the Multi-TALE project, that aims at developing a syntactic-semantic tagger-lemmatiser that assist lexicolo-gist in a multilingual environment to automatically classify specialised terms in a standardisation perspective. Its intended audience consists of (mainly) two distinct groups: on the one hand the computational linguists, who are sometimes desperately seeking an appropriate application involving real life data for their implemented prototypes, and on the other hand medical E.D.P. managers (doctors or computer scientists), who are sometimes looking equally desperately for methods that would facilitate their information retrieval and knowledge processing tasks. Therefore, this book contains a concise introduction to the relevant linguistic and medical topics required for an overall comprehension of its other parts. Inevita-bly, some notions are already well known by one group of readers but completely new to the other group. We have aimed at striking a good balance so that no reader becomes rapidly bored or discouraged.

Healthcare transformation requires us to continually look at new and better ways to manage insights – both within and outside the organization today. Increasingly, the ability to glean and operationalize new insights efficiently as a byproduct of an organization’s day-to-day operations is becoming vital to hospitals and health systems ability to survive and prosper. One of the long-standing challenges in healthcare informatics has been the ability to deal with the sheer variety and volume of disparate healthcare data and the increasing need to derive veracity and value out of it. Demystifying Big Data and Machine Learning for Healthcare investigates how healthcare organizations can leverage this tapestry of big data to discover new business value, use cases, and knowledge as well as how big data can be woven into pre-existing business intelligence and analytics efforts. This book focuses on teaching you how to: Develop skills needed to identify and demolish big-data myths Become an expert in separating hype from reality Understand the V’s that matter in healthcare and why Harmonize the 4 C’s across little and big data Choose data fi delity over data quality Learn how to apply the NRF Framework Master applied machine learning for healthcare Conduct a guided tour of learning algorithms Recognize and be prepared for the future of artificial intelligence in healthcare via best practices, feedback loops, and contextually intelligent agents (CIAs) The variety of data in healthcare spans multiple business workflows, formats (structured, un-, and semi-structured), integration at point of care/need, and integration with existing knowledge. In order to deal with these realities, the authors propose new approaches to creating a knowledge-driven learning organization-based on new and existing strategies, methods and technologies. This book will address the long-standing challenges in healthcare informatics and provide pragmatic recommendations on how to deal with them.
