Wonder at Chemotimelines 2024: MedTimeline: An End-to-End NLP System for Timeline Extraction from Clinical Narratives

Liwei Wang, Qiuhao Lu, Rui Li, Sunyang Fu, Hongfang Liu


Abstract
Extracting timeline information from clinical narratives is critical for cancer research and practice using electronic health records (EHRs). In this study, we apply MedTimeline, our end-to-end hybrid NLP system combining large language model, deep learning with knowledge engineering, to the ChemoTimeLine challenge subtasks. Our experiment results in 0.83, 0.90, 0.84, and 0.53, 0.63, 0.39, respectively, for subtask1 and subtask2 in breast, melanoma and ovarian cancer.
