Link Prediction In A Weighted Network Using Support Vector Machine, Jan Miles Co, Proceso L. Fernandez Jr Jun 2016

Link Prediction In A Weighted Network Using Support Vector Machine, Jan Miles Co, Proceso L. Fernandez Jr

Department of Information Systems & Computer Science Faculty Publications

Link prediction is a field under network analysis that deals with the existence or emergence of links. In this study, we investigate the effect of using weighted networks for two link prediction techniques, which are the Vector Auto Regression (VAR) technique and our proposed modified VAR that uses Support Vector Machine (SVM). Using a co-authorship network from DBLP as the dataset and the Area Under the Receiver Operating Curve (AUC-ROC) as the fitness metric, the results show that the performance of both VAR and SVM are surprisingly lower in the weighted network than in the unweighted network. In an attempt …

Technological advances in information-communication technologies in the health ecosystem have allowed for the recording and consumption of massive amounts of structured and unstructured health data. In developing countries, the use of Electronic Medical Records (EMR) is necessary to address the need for efficient delivery of services and informed decision-making, especially at the local level where health facilities and practitioners may be lacking. Text mining is a variation of data mining that tries to extract non-trivial information and knowledge from unstructured text. This study aims to determine the feasibility of integrating an intelligent agent within EMRs for automatic diagnosis prediction based …


Towards An Infodemiological Algorithm For Classification Of Filipino Health Tweets, Ma. Regina Justina E. Estuar, Kennedy E. Espina, Delfin Jay Sabido Ix, Raymond Josef Edward Lara, Vikki Car De Los Reyes Jan 2016

Towards An Infodemiological Algorithm For Classification Of Filipino Health Tweets, Ma. Regina Justina E. Estuar, Kennedy E. Espina, Delfin Jay Sabido Ix, Raymond Josef Edward Lara, Vikki Car De Los Reyes

Finding innovative ICT solutions to enhance the Philippines’ health sector is part and parcel of the Philippine eHealth Strategic Framework and Plan 2020 program. This study sees the opportunity of using collected Twitter data to create a model that processes tweets to produce a dataset that may be relevant in the field of epidemiology and infodemiology. Through the collection of relevant tweets, future studies may make use of the output of this research for various purposes, such as the improvement of epidemiological systems of the Department of Health in support of the eHealth strategy. In this study, we …
