+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.
