Whale optimized mixed kernel function of support vector machine for colorectal cancer diagnosis.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Microarray technique is a prevalent method for the classification and prediction of colorectal cancer (CRC). Nevertheless, microarray data suffers from the curse of dimensionality when selecting feature genes of the disease based on imbalance samples...

Multiple retrieval case-based reasoning for incomplete datasets.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The performance of case-based reasoning (CBR) depends on an accurate ranking of similar cases in the retrieval phase that affects all subsequent phases and profits from the potential of large databases. Unfortunately, growing databases come along wit...

Statistical outbreak detection by joining medical records and pathogen similarity.

Journal of biomedical informatics
We present a statistical inference model for the detection and characterization of outbreaks of hospital associated infection. The approach combines patient exposures, determined from electronic medical records, and pathogen similarity, determined by...

Word embeddings and external resources for answer processing in biomedical factoid question answering.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Biomedical question answering (QA) is a challenging task that has not been yet successfully solved, according to results on international benchmarks, such as BioASQ. Recent progress on deep neural networks has led to promising results in domain indep...

Unsupervised concept extraction from clinical text through semantic composition.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Concept extraction is an important step in clinical natural language processing. Once extracted, the use of concepts can improve the accuracy and generalization of downstream systems. We present a new unsupervised system for the extraction of concept...

Confirm or refute?: A comparative study on citation sentiment classification in clinical research publications.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Quantifying scientific impact of researchers and journals relies largely on citation counts, despite the acknowledged limitations of this approach. The need for more suitable alternatives has prompted research into developing advanced metrics, such a...

Semi-supervised learning to improve generalizability of risk prediction models.

Journal of biomedical informatics
The utility of a prediction model depends on its generalizability to patients drawn from different but related populations. We explored whether a semi-supervised learning model could improve the generalizability of colorectal cancer (CRC) risk predic...

Mining fall-related information in clinical notes: Comparison of rule-based and novel word embedding-based machine learning approaches.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Natural language processing (NLP) of health-related data is still an expertise demanding, and resource expensive process. We created a novel, open source rapid clinical text mining system called NimbleMiner. NimbleMiner combines several m...

Neuroevolution as a tool for microarray gene expression pattern identification in cancer research.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Microarrays are still one of the major techniques employed to study cancer biology. However, the identification of expression patterns from microarray datasets is still a significant challenge to overcome. In this work, a new approach using Neuroevol...

A combined modelling of fuzzy logic and Time-Driven Activity-based Costing (TDABC) for hospital services costing under uncertainty.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Hospital traditional cost accounting systems have inherent limitations that restrict their usefulness for measuring the exact cost of healthcare services. In this regard, new approaches such as Time Driven-Activity based Costing (TDABC) provide appro...
