Detect PHI for Deidentification in Romanian (Word2Vec)

Description

Named Entity Recognition annotators allow for a generic model to be trained by using a Deep Learning architecture (Char CNNs - BiLSTM - CRF - word embeddings) inspired on a former state of the art model for NER: Chiu & Nicols, Named Entity Recognition with Bidirectional LSTM,CNN.

Deidentification NER (Romanian) is a Named Entity Recognition model that annotates text to find protected health information that may need to be de-identified. It detects 17 entities.

This NER model is trained with a combination of custom datasets with several data augmentation mechanisms.

Predicted Entities

AGE, CITY, COUNTRY, DATE, DOCTOR, EMAIL, FAX, HOSPITAL, IDNUM, LOCATION-OTHER, MEDICALRECORD, ORGANIZATION, PATIENT, PHONE, PROFESSION, STREET, ZIP
