Neural Architecture for Temporal Relation Extraction: A Bi-LSTM Approach for Detecting Narrative Containers

AbstractWe present a neural architecture for containment relation identification between medical events and/or temporal expressions. We experiment on a corpus of de-identified clinical notes in English from the Mayo Clinic, namely the THYME corpus. Our model achieves an F-measure of 0.613 and outperforms the best result reported on this corpus to date.
