Installation

Install the required packages by running:

pip install nlpie

Usage

Preprocessor

Use the InputPreprocessor class in preprocessor.py to preprocess an input CSV file:

from preprocessor import InputPreprocessor

input_path = 'input.csv'
output_path = 'preprocessed.csv'

preprocessor = InputPreprocessor(input_path)
preprocessed_data = preprocessor.preprocess_input_file(output_path)

Query Filter

Use the QueryFilter class in query_filter.py to filter a preprocessed CSV file based on a text query:

from query_filter import QueryFilter

query = "pneumonia"
input_csv_path = "preprocessed.csv"

query_filter = QueryFilter()
query_umls_codes = query_filter.process_query(query)
filtered_data, negated_rows = query_filter.filter_rows(query_umls_codes, input_csv_path)
query_filter.save_filtered_data_to_csv(filtered_data, negated_rows, query, input_csv_path)
