Busy

Well, I don't think anyone is reading this. That's OK. It acts as a lab notebook of sorts for me. I admit, I haven't posted much. I'm doing a lot though. I have an IRB going at WBAMC in El Paso TX. I'm using sklearn and DoD data to attempt to predict HF readmissions. The next two posts are some of the intermediate steps in that project. The first will briefly outline setting up cTakes as a VM so that you can query it from a RESTful interface. The second is a document classifier using NLP/cTakes and sklearn. I used it to classify radiology reports as echo or not as a step toward an automatic feature extraction system for the larger project. More to follow.
