Semi-supervised learning of the electronic health record for phenotype stratification.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Patient interactions with health care providers result in entries to electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs were built for clinical and billing purposes but contain many data points about an individual. Mining these records provides opportunities to ...

Text mining electronic hospital records to automatically classify admissions against disease: Measuring the impact of linking data sources.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECTIVE: Text and data mining play an important role in obtaining insights from Health and Hospital Information Systems. This paper presents a text mining system for detecting admissions marked as positive for several diseases: Lung Cancer, Breast ...

Tumor reference resolution and characteristic extraction in radiology reports for liver cancer stage prediction.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Anaphoric references occur ubiquitously in clinical narrative text. However, the problem, still very much an open challenge, is typically less aggressively focused on in clinical text domain applications. Furthermore, existing research on...

How can machine-learning methods assist in virtual screening for hyperuricemia? A healthcare machine-learning approach.

Journal of biomedical informatics
OBJECT: Our purpose was to develop a new machine-learning approach (a virtual health check-up) toward identification of those at high risk of hyperuricemia. Applying the system to general health check-ups is expected to reduce medical costs compared ...

Automated learning of domain taxonomies from text using background knowledge.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In this paper, we present an automated method for taxonomy learning, focusing on concept formation and hierarchical relation learning. To infer such relations, we partition the extracted concepts and group them into closely-related clusters using Hie...

A Part-Of-Speech term weighting scheme for biomedical information retrieval.

Journal of biomedical informatics
In the era of digitalization, information retrieval (IR), which retrieves and ranks documents from large collections according to users' search queries, has been popularly applied in the biomedical domain. Building patient cohorts using electronic he...

Boosting backpropagation algorithm by stimulus-sampling: Application in computer-aided medical diagnosis.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Neural networks (NNs), in general, and multi-layer perceptron (MLP), in particular, represent one of the most efficient classifiers among the machine learning (ML) algorithms. Inspired by the stimulus-sampling paradigm, it is plausible to assume that...

A pilot study of a heuristic algorithm for novel template identification from VA electronic medical record text.

Journal of biomedical informatics
RATIONALE: Templates in text notes pose challenges for automated information extraction algorithms. We propose a method that identifies novel templates in plain text medical notes. The identification can then be used to either include or exclude temp...

An approach for deciphering patient-specific variations with application to breast cancer molecular expression profiles.

Journal of biomedical informatics
Several studies have successfully used molecular expression profiling in conjunction with classification techniques for discerning distinct disease groups. However, a majority of these studies do not provide sufficient insights into potential patient...

A computational framework for converting textual clinical diagnostic criteria into the quality data model.

Journal of biomedical informatics
BACKGROUND: Constructing standard and computable clinical diagnostic criteria is an important but challenging research field in the clinical informatics community. The Quality Data Model (QDM) is emerging as a promising information model for standard...
