Automatic Oriental Medical Diagnosis via BYY Learning Based Discrete Independent Factor Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
An oriental medical diagnosis is featured by inferring hidden causal factors of diseases from observed symptoms. This paper introduces a computer aided diagnosis in help of a linear independent factor model that interprets the observed symptoms as generated from hidden independent causes in term of discrete variables. The model is computed by algorithms obtained from the BYY harmony learning. Key-Words: Oriental medical diagnosis, discrete independent factor analysis, BYY harmony learning.

Oriental Medical Data Mining and Diagnosis Based On Binary Independent Factor Model
In an oriental medical diagnostic process, human doctor accumulates the observed complex symptom data from the patient and diagnoses the person’s illness. The doctor tries to infer from the visible observed symptoms based on his knowledge and what his understanding before he comes to a conclusion. A complicated observation is regarded as generated from a number of hidden and simpler factors and...
متن کاملOn essential topics of BYY harmony learning: Current status, challenging issues, and gene analysis applications
As a supplementary of [Xu L. Front. Electr. Electron. Eng. China, 2010, 5(3): 281–328], this paper outlines current status of efforts made on Bayesian YingYang (BYY) harmony learning, plus gene analysis applications. At the beginning, a bird’s-eye view is provided via Gaussian mixture in comparison with typical learning algorithms and model selection criteria. Particularly, semi-supervised lear...

متن کاملLearning binary factor analysis with automatic model selection
Binary Factor Analysis (BFA) uncovers the independent binary information sources from observations with wide applications. BFA learning hierarchically nests three levels of inverse problems, i.e., inference of binary code for each observation, parameter estimation and model selection. Under Bayesian YingYang (BYY) framework, the first level becomes an intractable Binary Quadratic Programming (B...
متن کاملBYY harmony learning, structural RPCL, and topological self-organizing on mixture models
The Bayesian Ying-Yang (BYY) harmony learning acts as a general statistical learning framework, featured by not only new regularization techniques for parameter learning but also a new mechanism that implements model selection either automatically during parameter learning or via a new class of model selection criteria used after parameter learning. In this paper, further advances on BYY harmon...
