Outpatient Text Classification Using Attention-Based Bidirectional LSTM for Robot-Assisted Servicing in Hospital

Abstract

In general, patients who are unwell do not know with which outpatient department they should register, and can only get advice after they are diagnosed by a family doctor. This may cause a waste of time and medical resources. In this paper, we propose an attention-based bidirectional long short-term memory (Att-BiLSTM) model for service robots, which has the ability to classify outpatient categories according to textual content. With the outpatient text classification system, users can talk about their situation to a service robot and the robot can tell them which clinic they should register with. In the implementation of the proposed method, dialog text of users in the Taiwan E Hospital were collected as the training data set. Through natural language processing (NLP), the information in the dialog text was extracted, sorted, and converted to train the long-short term memory (LSTM) deep learning model. Experimental results verify the ability of the robot to respond to questions autonomously through acquired casual knowledge.

Ensemble Deep Learning Models for Heart Disease Classification: A Case Study from Mexico

“…A generative adversarial network (GAN), which is composed of BiLSTM and CNN models, was suggested to address the problem of generating synthetic ECG data in order to enhance the automated medical-aided diagnosis and showed high morphological similarity to real ECG recordings [56]. Some other applications employed the Natural Language Processing (NLP) that helped to assist doctors in heart disease diagnosis, such as suggesting comprehensive learning models from the electronic medical data using LTSM [57], and outpatient categories classification according to textual content using the attention based BiLTSM model [58].…”

SOPNet Method for the Fine-Grained Measurement and Prediction of Precipitation Intensity Using Outdoor Surveillance Cameras

“…Many recent approaches have leveraged LSTM cells in related sequences for classification and prediction [4], [40]- [49]. These methods fall into one of two categories based on whether their structure features a (1) unidirectional LSTM network or (2) bidirectional LSTM network, where the LSTM cell is the core of both structures.…”

“…Moreover, bidirectional LSTM uses the forward and backward procedures to process the positive-and reverseorder sequence elements. In doing so, bidirectional LSTM can process contextual relationships, and it is thus widely used in video classification [53], natural language processing [42], [48], video summarization [54], and text processing [49].…”

Exploiting Ontology Recommendation Using Text Categorization Approach

“…In recent years, state-of-the-art approaches have moved dramatically from computational such as statistical and traditional machine learning to deep learning-based text categorization [44]. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) are commonly employed in the field of image processing.…”
