  • Designed and implemented a robust NLP system to detect mentions of medical disorders within patient records by combining supervised learning (e.g. classification models) and unsupervised techniques (e.g. clustering, topic modeling).
  • This hybrid approach improved accuracy and recall in identifying relevant clinical terms and entities. The system enabled more effective extraction of insights from unstructured clinical text, supporting ongoing research and development in natural language processing applied to healthcare, ultimately advancing automated clinical data analysis and patient outcome studies.
