During mammography screening, radiologists use a strict lexicon (BI-RADS) to describe and report their findings. Mammography records are then stored in a well-defined database format (NMD). Lately, researchers have applied data mining and machine learning techniques to these databases. They successfully built breast cancer classifiers that can help in early detection of malignancy. However, the validity of these models depends on the quality of the underlying databases. Unfortunately, most databases suffer from inconsistencies, missing data, inter-observer variability and inappropriate term usage. In addition, many databases are not compliant with the NMD format and/or solely consist of text reports. BI-RADS feature extraction from free text and consistency checks between recorded predictive variables and text reports are crucial to addressing this problem. We describe a general scheme for concept information retrieval from free text given a lexicon, and present a BI-RADS features extraction algorithm for clinical data mining. It consists of a syntax analyzer, a concept finder and a negation detector. The syntax analyzer preprocesses the input into individual sentences. The concept finder uses a semantic grammar based on the BI-RADS lexicon and the experts' input. It parses sentences detecting BI-RADS concepts. Once a concept is located, a lexical scanner checks for negation. Our method can handle multiple latent concepts within the text, filtering out ultrasound concepts. On our dataset, our algorithm achieves 97.7% precision, 95.5% recall and an <i>F</i><sub>1</sub>-score of 0.97.

Recently several methods have been developed to automatically identify communities from complex networks by optimizing the modularity function. The advantage of this type of approaches is that the algorithm does not require any parameter to be tuned. However, the modularity-based methods for community discovery assume that the network structure is given explicitly and is correct. In addition, these methods work best if the network is unweighted and/or sparse. In reality, networks are often not directly defined, or may be given as an affinity matrix. In the first case, each node of the network is defined as a point in a high dimensional space and different networks can be obtained with different network construction methods, resulting in different community structures. In the second case, an affinity matrix may define a dense weighted graph, for which modularity-based methods do not perform well. In this work, we propose a very simple algorithm to automatically identify community structures from these two types of data. Our approach utilizes a <i>k</i>-nearest-neighbor network construction method to capture the topology embedded in high dimensional data, and applies a modularity-based algorithm to identify the optimal community structure. A key to our approach is that the network construction is incorporated with the community identification process and is totally parameter-free. Furthermore, our method can suggest appropriate preprocessing/normalization of the data to improve the results of community identification. We tested our methods on several synthetic and real data sets, and evaluated its performance by internal or external accuracy indices. Compared with several existing approaches, our method is not only fully automatic, but also has the best accuracy overall.</p>","PeriodicalId":74565,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Dimensionality reduction (DR) methods remove the unwanted variance and make these tasks tractable. Several nonlinear DR methods, such as the well known ISOMAP algorithm, rely on a neighborhood graph to compute geodesic distances between data points. These graphs can contain unwanted edges which connect disparate regions of one or more manifolds. This topological sensitivity is well known [1], [2], [3], yet handling high-dimensional, noisy data in the absence of a priori manifold knowledge, remains an open and difficult problem. This work introduces a divisive, edge-removal method based on graph betweenness centrality which can robustly identify manifold-shorting edges. The problem of graph construction in high dimension is discussed and the proposed algorithm is fit into the ISOMAP workflow.
