The recent developments in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and its applications in healthcare and low-resource languages highlight a significant shift towards leveraging large language models (LLMs) and knowledge graphs for enhanced accuracy and efficiency. Innovations are particularly focused on addressing challenges in named entity recognition (NER), especially in low-resource languages and discontinuous entities within health corpora. The integration of LLMs with ensemble learning and the construction of patient-specific knowledge graphs are emerging as powerful tools for improving medical diagnosis, patient disposition analysis, and the understanding of complex diseases. These advancements not only improve the performance of existing models but also pave the way for new methodologies in NLP applications, offering scalable solutions and deeper insights into medical and linguistic data.
