• Sommario/riassunto: • Includes Text Mining and Natural Language Processing Methods for extracting information from electronic health records and biomedical literature.• Analyzes text analytic tools for new media such as online forums, social media posts, tweets and video sharing.• Demonstrates how to use speech and audio technologies for improving access to online content for the visually impaired. Text Mining of Web-Based Medical Content examines various approaches to deriving high quality information from online biomedical literature, electronic health records, query search terms, social media posts and tweets. Using some of the latest empirical methods of knowledge extraction, the authors show how online content, generated by both professionals and laypersons, can be mined for valuable information about disease processes, adverse drug reactions not captured during clinical trials, and tropical fever outbreaks. Additionally, the authors show how to perform information extraction on a hospital intranet, how to build a social media search engine to glean information about patients' own experiences interacting with healthcare professionals, and how to improve access to online health information. This volume provides a wealth of timely material for health informatic professionals and machine learning, data mining, and natural language researchers. Topics in this book include:• Clinical Documents in Electronic Health Records• Summarization Techniques for Online Health Data• Natural Language Processing for Text Mining• Query Expansion Techniques for Tweets• Online Video Data Retrieval of Health-Related Videos• Dengue Fever Outbreaks• Bioemergencies and Social Media Posts• Speech-based Disease Screening for Malaria, Yellow Fever, Typhoid, and Lassa Fever• Audio Access to Online Video Data for the Visually Impaired; • Includes Text Mining and Natural Language Processing Methods for extracting information from electronic health records and biomedical literature.• Analyzes text analytic tools for new media such as online forums, social media posts, tweets and video sharing.• Demonstrates how to use speech and audio technologies for improving access to online content for the visually impaired.

• Sommario/riassunto: While the Victorian novel famously describes, catalogs, and inundates the reader with things, the protocols for reading it have long enjoined readers not to interpret most of what crowds its pages. The Ideas in Things explores apparently inconsequential objects in popular Victorian texts to make contact with their fugitive meanings. Developing an innovative approach to analyzing nineteenth-century fiction, Elaine Freedgood here reconnects the things readers unwittingly ignore to the stories they tell. Building her case around objects from three well-known Victorian novels-the mahogany furniture in Charlotte Brontë's ; Jane Eyre, the calico curtains in Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton, and "Negro head" tobacco in Charles Dickens's Great Expectations-Freedgood argues that these things are connected to histories that the novels barely acknowledge, generating darker meanings outside the novels' symbolic systems. A valuable contribution to the new field of object studies in the humanities, The Ideas in Things pushes readers' thinking about things beyond established concepts of commodity and fetish.
