MKDS: A Medical Knowledge Discovery System Learned from Electronic Medical Records (Demonstration)

This paper presents a medical knowledge discovery system (MKDS) that learns the medical knowledge from electronic medical records (EMRs). The distributed word representations model the relations among medical concepts such as diseases and medicines. Four tasks, including spell checking, clinical trait extraction, analogical reasoning, and computer-aided diagnosis, are demonstrated in our system.
