Free Webinars in November – Learn from Big Data & Machine Learning Applications in Healthcare

This webinar will demonstrate how to use the new Azure ML Workbench to solve complicated NLP tasks such as entity extraction from unstructured text. The tutorial aims to analyze a large corpus of unlabeled unstructured text records such as Medline PubMed abstracts and trains a word embedding model. The output embeddings are considered as automatically generated semantic features to train a neural entity extractor. We systematically show how to train a word embeddings model using word2vec neural word embedding algorithm with nearly 20 million Medline article abstracts on an HDInsight Spark cluster and then use the auto-generated features to train a LSTM deep recurrent neural network for medical entity extraction on a GPU-equipped Data Science Virtual Machine.
