In this work, we treat the categorization of free clinical text as a multi-label learning...
Cough Recognition is a valuable classification problem in healthcare. Generally, feature representation contributes a lot to the overall classifying performance. In this paper, a novel feature extraction method, Gammatone Cepstral Coefficients (GTCC), is investigated for cough recognition. The accuracy of GTCC comparing with MFCC is evaluated on a designed cough dataset following a 10 fold cross-validation...
Purpose: The analysis of syndrome distribution and the association between syndrome-syndrome in chronic gastritis (CG) patients can provide references for research about Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment of CG. Method: This paper applies the investigation method of clinical epidemiology, adopts probability statistics method and comes up with the concept of associated density...
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common cardiovascular disease in the elderly, which causes high death rate and low cure rate. Therefore, the TCM diagnosis objectification is important. This paper proposes the Relative Associated Density (RAD) method to analyze the data set. RAD results of the symptoms to syndromes are used in performing feature selection, and the prediction results with different...
