Bmc Medical Informatics and Decision Making a Controlled Trial of Automated Classification of Negation from Clinical Notes

Background: Identification of negation in electronic health records is essential if we are to understand the computable meaning of the records: Our objective is to compare the accuracy of an automated mechanism for assignment of Negation to clinical concepts within a compositional expression with Human Assigned Negation. Also to perform a failure analysis to identify the causes of poorly identified negation (i.e.
