Abstract
AbstractMuch information about patients is documented in the unstructured textual format in the electronic health record system. Research findings are also reported in the biomedical literature. In this chapter, we will discuss the background, resources and methods used in biomedical natural language processing (NLP), which will help unlock information from the textual data.
