Behaviors

Presentation

At the moment, EDS-NLP exposes two pipelines extracting behavioral patterns, namely the tobacco and alcohol consumption status. Each component is based on the ContextualMatcher component. Some general considerations about those components:

• Extracted entities are stored in the doc.spans dictionary. For instance, the eds.tobacco component stores matches in doc.spans["tobacco"].
• The comorbidity is also available under the ent.label_ of each match.
• Matches have an associated _.status attribute taking the value 0, 1, or 2. A corresponding _.detailled_status attribute stores the human-readable status, which can be component-dependent. See each component documentation for more details.
• Some components add additional information to matches. For instance, the tobacco adds, if relevant, extracted pack-year (= paquet-année). Those information are available under the ent._.assigned attribute.
• Those components work on normalized documents. Please use the eds.normalizer pipeline with the following parameters:

nlp.add_pipe(
    "eds.normalizer",
    config=dict(
        accents=True,
        lowercase=True,
        quotes=True,
        spaces=True,
        pollution=dict(
            information=True,
            bars=True,
            biology=True,
            doctors=True,
            web=True,
            coding=True,
            footer=True,
        ),
    ),
)

• Those components should be used with a qualification pipeline to avoid extracted unwanted matches. At the very least, you can use available rule-based qualifiers (eds.negation, eds.hypothesis and eds.family). Better, a machine learning qualification component was developped and trained specificaly for those components. For privacy reason, the model isn't publicly available yet.

  Use the ML model

  The model will soon be available in the models catalogue of AP-HP's CDW.
