ARGO 2.0: a Hybrid NLP/ML Framework for Diagnosis Standardization.
A relevant problem in medicine is the standardization of the diagnosis associated with a clinical case. Although diagnosis formulation is an intrinsically subjective and uncertain process, its standardization may take benefit from digital solutions automating the routines at the basis of such a decision. In this work, we propose ARGO 2.0: a framework for the development of decision support systems for diagnosis formulation. The framework can read free-text reports and store their clinically relevant information as personalized electronic Case Report Forms. A hybrid strategy, exploiting the synergy of Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning techniques, is used to automatically suggest a diagnosis in a standardized fashion. ARGO 2.0 has been designed to be template-independent and easily tailored to specific medical fields. We here demonstrate its feasibility in hemo lympho-pathology, by detailing its implementation, object of an ongoing validation campaign in a standing medical institute. ARGO 2.0 achieved an average Accuracy of 95.07%, an average precision of 94.85%, an average Recall of 96.31% and a F-Score of 95.32% onto the test set, outperforming both its embedded components, based on Natural Language Processing and Machine Learning.
