Abstract

This paper reports on a shared task involving the assignment of ICD-9-CM codes to radiology reports. Two features distinguished this task from previous shared tasks in the biomedical domain. One is that it resulted in the first freely distributable corpus of fully anonymized clinical text. This resource is permanently available and will (we hope) facilitate future research. The other key feature of the task is that it required categorization with respect to a large and commercially significant set of labels. The number of participants was larger than in any previous biomedical challenge task. We describe the data production process and the evaluation measures, and give a preliminary analysis of the results. Many systems performed at levels approaching the inter-coder agreement, suggesting that human-like performance on this task is within the reach of currently available technologies.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
