development of language-independent, multilingual approaches was encouraged.
Inspired by the recent success of recurrent neural network models
\cite{cho_learning_2014,lample_neural_2016,dyer_transition-based_2015} in
general and the convincing performance of the work from Miftahutdinov and
Tutbalina \cite{miftakhutdinov_kfu_2017} in the last year's competition we opt
for the development of a deep learning model for this year's task. Our work
introduces a language independent approach for ICD-10 classification using
multi-language word embeddings and LSTM-based recurrent models. We divide the
the classification into two tasks. First, we extract symptoms from a certificate
line backed by an encoder-decoder model. Given the symptoms the actual ICD-10
classification will be performed by a separate LSTM model.
