Detect Anatomical Regions

Description

Pretrained named entity recognition deep learning model for anatomy terms. The SparkNLP deep learning model (NerDL) is inspired by a former state of the art model for NER: Chiu & Nicols, Named Entity Recognition with Bidirectional LSTM-CNN.

Predicted Entities

Anatomical_system, Cell, Cellular_component, Developing_anatomical_structure, Immaterial_anatomical_entity, Multi-tissue_structure, Organ, Organism_subdivision, Organism_substance, Pathological_formation, Tissue

How to use

Use as part of an nlp pipeline with the following stages: DocumentAssembler, SentenceDetector, Tokenizer, WordEmbeddingsModel, NerDLModel. Add the NerConverter to the end of the pipeline to convert entity tokens into full entity chunks.

...
word_embeddings = WordEmbeddingsModel.pretrained("embeddings_clinical", "en", "clinical/models")\
  .setInputCols(["sentence", "token"])\
  .setOutputCol("embeddings")
clinical_ner = NerDLModel.pretrained("ner_anatomy", "en", "clinical/models") \
  .setInputCols(["sentence", "token", "embeddings"]) \
  .setOutputCol("ner")
...

nlpPipeline = Pipeline(stages=[document_assembler, sentence_detector, tokenizer, word_embeddings, clinical_ner, ner_converter])

empty_data = spark.createDataFrame([[""]]).toDF("text")

model = nlpPipeline.fit(empty_data)

results = model.transform(spark.createDataFrame([['This is an 11-year-old female who comes in for two different things. 1. She was seen by the allergist. No allergies present, so she stopped her Allegra, but she is still real congested and does a lot of snorting.

Extraocular muscles intact. TMs clear. Nares patent. A little bit of swelling of the turbinates on the left. Oropharynx is essentially clear. Mucous membranes are moist.\nNeck: No lymphadenopathy.\nChest: Clear.\nAbdomen: Positive bowel sounds and soft.\nDermatologic: She has got redness along the lateral portion of her right great toe, but no bleeding or oozing.

Results

The output is a dataframe with a sentence per row and a "ner" column containing all of the entity labels in the sentence, entity character indices, and other metadata. To get only the tokens and entity labels, without the metadata, select "token.result" and "ner.result" from your output dataframe or add the "Finisher" to the end of your pipeline.
