Distributed representations of diseases based on co-occurrence relationship

作者:

Highlights:

• Co-occurrence among diseases is crucial to knowledge discovery in medicine.

• Existing researches are mainly based on clinical experience rather than data driven.

• The distance in the disease embedding space reflects the co-occurrence relationship.

• Existing medical concept embedding models focus on prediction tasks.

• The first work to use disease embedding to study co-occurrence relationships.
