Lancet is a supervised machine-learning system that automatically extracts medication events consisting of medication names and information pertaining to their prescribed use (dosage, mode, frequency, duration and reason) from lists or narrative text in medical discharge summaries.
Lancet applies a conditional random fields model for tagging individual medication names and associated fields, and an AdaBoost model with decision stump algorithm for determining which medication names and fields belong to a single medication event.
During the third i2b2 shared-task for challenges in natural language processing for clinical data: medication extraction challenge, lancet is ranked as a Top10 system. Among the top 10 teams, Lancet achieved the highest precision at 90.4% with an overall F1 score of 76.4% (horizontal system level with exact match),
