Title: An empirical analysis of topic modeling for mining cancer clinical notes
Conference Title: 2013 13th IEEE International Conference on Data Mining Workshops, ICDMW 2013
Abstract: Using a variety of techniques including Topic Modeling, Principal Component Analysis and Bi-clustering, we explore electronic patient records in the form of unstructured clinical notes and genetic mutation test results. Our ultimate goal is to gain insight into a unique body of clinical data, specifically regarding the topics discussed within the note content and relationships between patient clinical notes and their underlying genetics. © 2013 IEEE.
