Specializing for predicting obesity and its co-morbidities
We present specializing, a method for combining classifiers for multi-class classification. Specializing trains one specialist classifier per class and utilizes each specialist to distinguish that class from all others in a one-versus-all manner. It then supplements the specialist classifiers with a catch-all classifier that performs multi-class classification across all classes. We refer to th...
متن کاملTerm variation and semantics for document classification and detection of obesity and its co-morbidities cases
Within the translational medicine area, researchers aim at connecting more closely medical knowledge and individual patient data, in order to improve patient care quality. The 2008 I2B2 Obesity NLP challenge is to promote such research and to evaluate such systems within the same framework. We participated at this challenge. Our approach bets on use of semantics and term variants. The results o...
متن کاملClassification of Clinical Conditions: A Case Study on Prediction of Obesity and Its Co-morbidities
We investigate a multiclass, multilabel classification problem in medical domain in the context of prediction of obesity and its co-morbidities. Challenges of the problem not only lie in the issues of statistical learning such as high dimensionality, interdependence between multiple classes but also in the characteristics of the data itself. In particular, narrative medical reports are predomin...
