Using Deep Learning Towards Biomedical Knowledge Discovery

چکیده
A vast amount of knowledge exists within biomedical literature, publications, clinical notes and online content. Identifying hidden, interesting or previously unknown biomedical knowledge from free text resources using an automated approach remains an important challenge. Towards this problem, we investigate the use of deep learning methods that have shown significant promise in identifying hidden patterns from large corpus of text in an unsupervised manner. For example, it can deduce that „husband‟ „man‟ + 'woman' = 'wife'. We use the text corpus from MRDEF file in the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) dataset as training set to discover potential relationships. To evaluate our approach, we cross-verify new relationships against the UMLS MRREL dataset and conduct a manual evaluation from a sample of the non-overlapping set. The algorithm found 32% of new relationships not originally represented in the UMLS. The deep learning methods provide a promising approach in discovering potential new biomedical knowledge from free text.

Discovering relations between indirectly connected biomedical concepts
BACKGROUND The complexity and scale of the knowledge in the biomedical domain has motivated research work towards mining heterogeneous data from both structured and unstructured knowledge bases. Towards this direction, it is necessary to combine facts in order to formulate hypotheses or draw conclusions about the domain concepts. This work addresses this problem by using indirect knowledge conn...

Towards that goal, we develop a system with novel deep neural...
متن کاملA Pilot Study of Biomedical Text Comprehension using an Attention-Based Deep Neural Reader: Design and Experimental Analysis
BACKGROUND With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology centered on deep-learning, the computer has evolved to a point where it can read a given text and answer a question based on the context of the text. Such a specific task is known as the task of machine comprehension. Existing machine comprehension tasks mostly use datasets of general texts, such as news articles or elem...
متن کاملA New Method for Detecting Ships in Low Size and Low Contrast Marine Images: Using Deep Stacked Extreme Learning Machines
Detecting ships in marine images is an essential problem in maritime surveillance systems. Although several types of deep neural networks have almost ubiquitously used for this purpose, but the performance of such networks greatly drops when they are exposed to low size and low contrast images which have been captured by passive monitoring systems. On the other hand factors such as sea waves, c...
متن کاملSupervised Hypothesis Discovery Using Syllogistic Patterns in the Biomedical Literature
The ever-growing literature in biomedicine makes it virtually impossible for individuals to grasp all the information relevant to their interests. Since even experts’ knowledge is limited, important associations among key biomedical concepts may remain unnoticed in the flood of information. Discovering those hidden associations is called hypothesis discovery. This paper reports our approach to ...
