Abstract
Recent advancements in medical entity linking have been applied in the area of scientific literature and social media data. However, with the adoption of telemedicine and conversational agents such as Alexa in healthcare settings, medical name inference has become an important task. Medication name inference is the task of mapping user friendly medication names from a free-form text to a concept in a normalized medication list. This is challenging due to the differences in the use of medical terminology from health care professionals and user conversations coming from the lay public. We begin with mapping descriptive medication phrases (DMP) to standard medication names (SMN). Given the prescriptions of each patient, we want to provide them with the flexibility of referring to the medication in their preferred ways. We approach this as a ranking problem which maps SMN to DMP by ordering the list of medications in the patient’s prescription list obtained from pharmacies. Furthermore, we leveraged the output of intermediate layers and performed medication clustering. We present the Medication Inference Model (MIM) achieving state-of-the-art results. By incorporating medical entities based attention, we have obtained further improvement for ranking models.
