* [**Name of Conference or Journal + Year**] Paper Name. [[paper]](link) [[code]](link)This survey provides a comprehensive overview of the principles, applications, and challenges faced by NLP techniques in SDoH. We address the following specific questions:
- What are the various Natural Language Processing (NLP)-based techniques or models that exist in literature for the detection, identification, extraction, or classification of social determinants of health (SDoH)? What are the effectiveness and accuracy of such techniques/models?
This survey aims to provide insights into the opportunities and challenges of NLP/LLMs in SDoH, and serve as a practical resource for constructing effective SDoH NLP/LLMs.
THE LIST IS CURRENTLY IN-PROGRESS, PLEASE CHECK BACK LATER.
