Comprehend Medical Entity Detection Classification Accuracy

0

We developed a product using comprehend medical for a healthcare client. The client asked us about the training/test/CV error of the model for the entity detection. Is there any number/statistic available in the public domain that details the predictive accuracy of comprehend medical?

Hey,

Dealing with medical entity detection accuracy is no small feat. I've been down this road myself, and it's a rollercoaster of emotions and learnings.

Mj12, when it comes to Comprehend Medical, I totally understand your situation. Unfortunately, Amazon Comprehend Medical's precise training/test/CV error statistics aren't publicly available...(as I know). This can be a real challenge when dealing with client inquiries about model accuracy.

What I've found helpful is to create your own evaluation process. You could set up a representative dataset, manually annotate the entities, and then compare Comprehend Medical's predictions with your manual annotations. This could give you a better understanding of its performance specific to your use case.

Remember, communication with your client is key. Be transparent about the limitations and potential inaccuracies. You might want to consider alternative solutions or a hybrid approach combining Comprehend Medical with other tools.
