Biomedical Informatics Natural Language Processing Laboratory

The Biomedical Informatics Natural Language Processing (BioNLP) lab conducts research on information retrieval, machine learning, and natural language processing, with a focus on biomedical applications. Our goal is to extract information from the vast amount of unstructured data in the biomedical domain, such as electronic health record (EHR) notes and scientific articles. We have developed and built systems for biomedical question answering, adverse drug event detection, biomedical figure search, EHR note comprehension, and health care outcome predictions, among others.
