The annotation of multiple types of EEG-specific medical concepts, along with their polarity and modality, is challenging, especially when automatically performed on Big Data. To address this challenge, we present a novel framework which combines the advantages of active and deep learning while producing annotations that capture a variety of attributes of medical concepts. Results obtained through our novel framework show great promise %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5543351/
