It is worth noting that the medical concept in this paper includes not only the standard medical named entities but also other categories that are useful for medical text analysis.

Among different tasks to process Chinese EMR texts, CWS and medical concept recognition are two fundamental ones that draw much attentions from previous studies. Due to the dramatic performance drop when applying the model trained from open source corpus on the medical field, previous studies (Xu et al., 2014 Li et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2016; He et al., 2017) always construct Chinese medical datasets themselves and test their models on the datasets. However, most constructed datasets used for CWS are relatively small, where there are only roughly 100 Chinese EMRs. Besides, the medical concept types in most existing datasets are limited to named entities (e.g., \"Disease\" and \"Symptoms and Signs\"), which fails to consider other medical concept types (e.g., \"Time\") in EMRs that are potentially helpful for Chinese EMR texts analysis. tient.

The results on CWS show that models trained on general domain dataset (i.e., CTB6) cannot perform well on medical domain, which confirms the necessity of constructing the ACEMR corpus. Furthermore, WMSeg with wordhood information and TwASP with auto-generated syntactic information outperforms strong baselines on word segmentation and medical concept recognition, respectively, which demonstrates the benefit of leveraging extra resources (i.e., wordhood information and syntactic information) for CWS and medical concept recognition.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "Conclusion", "sec_num": "6" }, { "text": "\u2020 Corresponding author.1 The resources in this paper are released at https:// github.com/cuhksz-nlp/ACEMR.", "cite_spans": [], "ref_spans": [], "eq_spans": [], "section": "", "sec_num": null }, { "text": "If a Chinese word is translated into multiple English words, we use \"*\" in the English translation to mark its boundary inTable 4.
