Applying data mining techniques to medical time series: an empirical case study in electroencephalography and stabilometry

Abstract

One of the major challenges in the medical domain today is how to exploit the huge amount of data that this field generates. To do this, approaches are required that are capable of discovering knowledge that is useful for decision making in the medical field. Time series are data types that are common in the medical domain and require specialized analysis techniques and tools, especially if the information of interest to specialists is concentrated within particular time series regions, known as events.This research followed the steps specified by the so-called knowledge discovery in databases (KDD) process to discover knowledge from medical time series derived from stabilometric (396 series) and electroencephalographic (200) patient electronic health records (EHR). The view offered in the paper is based on the experience gathered as part of the VIIP project.1Knowledge discovery in medical time series has a number of difficulties and implications that are highlighted by illustrating the application of several techniques that cover the entire KDD process through two case studies.This paper illustrates the application of different knowledge discovery techniques for the purposes of classification within the above domains. The accuracy of this application for the two classes considered in each case is 99.86% and 98.11% for epilepsy diagnosis in the electroencephalography (EEG) domain and 99.4% and 99.1% for early-age sports talent classification in the stabilometry domain. The KDD techniques achieve better results than other traditional neural network-based classification techniques.

Content Based Confidentiality Detection Method For Data Leakage Prevention

“…Confidential terms detection a) Document Pre-processing In general the document repository is not available in understandable format; with the help of data preprocessing the document repository is converted into understandable format [21].…”

Structured Medical Pathology Data Hiding Information Association Mining Algorithm Based on Optimized Convolutional Neural Network

“…On the basis of the optimization of the above information features, the feature matrix is transmitted to the CNN for learning, so as to extract the weight of the connection layer, and use the obtained weight value distribution to confirm the importance degree of the corresponding region of the weight, and obtain the feature average matrix. At the same time, the enhancement of the hiding information data features is implemented according to the matrix [27]- [29]. The detailed process is as follows:…”

Genomic big data hitting the storage bottleneck

“…In the case of time series, to efficiently process and analyse large volumes of data, one must consider operating on summaries (or approximations) of these data series. Several techniques have been proposed in the literature ( Anguera et al , 2016 ), including Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Piecewise Aggregate Approximation (PAA), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), Adaptive Piecewise Constant Approximation (APCA), Approximation (SAX), and others. Recent works ( Emil Gydesen et al , 2015 ) based on the iSAX ( Shieh and Keogh, 2009 ) algorithm have focused on the batch update process of indexing very large collections of time series and have proposed highly efficiency algorithms with optimised disk I/O, managing to index “one billion time series” very efficiently on a single machine.…”
