We study a crowdsourcing-based diagnosis algorithm, which is against the fact that currently we do not lack medical staff, but high level experts. Our approach is to make use of the general practitioners' efforts: For every patient whose illness cannot be judged definitely, we arrange for them to be diagnosed multiple times by different doctors, and we collect the all diagnosis results to derive the final judgement. Our inference model is based on the statistical consistency of the diagnosis data. To evaluate the proposed model, we conduct experiments on both the synthetic and real data; the results show that it outperforms the benchmarks.
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.
