Computer aid technology is widely applied in decision-making and outcome assessment of healthcare delivery, in which modeling knowledge and expert experience is technically important. However, the conventional rule-based models are incapable of capturing the underlying knowledge because they are incapable of simulating the complexity of human brains and highly rely on feature representation of problem domains. Thus we attempt to apply a deep model to overcome this weakness. The deep model can simulate the thinking procedure of human and combine feature representation and learning in a unified model. A modified version of convolutional deep belief networks is used as an effective training method for large-scale data sets. Then it is tested by two instances: a dataset on hypertension retrieved from a HIS system, and a dataset on Chinese medical diagnosis and treatment prescription from a manual converted electronic medical record (EMR) database. The experimental results indicate that the proposed deep model is able to reveal previously unknown concepts and performs much better than the conventional shallow models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
