An unsupervised machine learning model for discovering latent infectious diseases using social media data.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: The authors of this work propose an unsupervised machine learning model that has the ability to identify real-world latent infectious diseases by mining social media data. In this study, a latent infectious disease is defined as a commu...

Septic shock prediction for ICU patients via coupled HMM walking on sequential contrast patterns.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Critical care patient events like sepsis or septic shock in intensive care units (ICUs) are dangerous complications which can cause multiple organ failures and eventual death. Preventive prediction of such events will allow ...

Developing the Quantitative Histopathology Image Ontology (QHIO): A case study using the hot spot detection problem.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Interoperability across data sets is a key challenge for quantitative histopathological imaging. There is a need for an ontology that can support effective merging of pathological image data with associated clinical and demographic data. To foster or...

Accuracy of an automated knowledge base for identifying drug adverse reactions.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Drug safety researchers seek to know the degree of certainty with which a particular drug is associated with an adverse drug reaction. There are different sources of information used in pharmacovigilance to identify, evaluate, and disse...

Learning from heterogeneous temporal data in electronic health records.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Electronic health records contain large amounts of longitudinal data that are valuable for biomedical informatics research. The application of machine learning is a promising alternative to manual analysis of such data. However, the complex structure...

Prediction of microRNAs involved in immune system diseases through network based features.

Journal of biomedical informatics
MicroRNAs are a class of small non-coding regulatory RNA molecules that modulate the expression of several genes at post-transcriptional level and play a vital role in disease pathogenesis. Recent research shows that a range of miRNAs are involved in...

Can multilinguality improve Biomedical Word Sense Disambiguation?

Journal of biomedical informatics
Ambiguity in the biomedical domain represents a major issue when performing Natural Language Processing tasks over the huge amount of available information in the field. For this reason, Word Sense Disambiguation is critical for achieving accurate sy...

Evaluating semantic similarity between Chinese biomedical terms through multiple ontologies with score normalization: An initial study.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Semantic similarity estimation significantly promotes the understanding of natural language resources and supports medical decision making. Previous studies have investigated semantic similarity and relatedness estimation between biomedic...

Extractive text summarization system to aid data extraction from full text in systematic review development.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVES: Extracting data from publication reports is a standard process in systematic review (SR) development. However, the data extraction process still relies too much on manual effort which is slow, costly, and subject to human error. In this s...
