A Hybrid AI-based Method for ICD Classification of Medical Documents
Conference Talk, ICIMTH '23 — 21st International Conference on Informatics, Management, and Technology in Healthcare, Athens, Greece
Short talk presenting our ontology-based transfer learning method for classifying medical documents with ICD codes. The core idea: instead of transferring statistical model weights — which risks leaking patient data under the GDPR — we normalize the classifier’s feature space through medical ontologies, making trained models reusable across institutions without additional training data.
