We present a novel method of mapping verbatim job titles to SOC codes using a large table of prior knowledge available in the public domain that included detailed description of the tasks and activities and their synonyms relevant to each SOC code. Job titles are compared to our knowledge base to find the closest matching SOC code. A soft Jaccard index is used to measure the similarity between a previously unseen job title and the knowledge base. Additional information such as standardized industrial codes can be incorporated to improve the SOC code determination by providing additional context to break ties in matches.</p>","PeriodicalId":74567,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

Rao","doi":"10.1109/CBMS.2013.6627755","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CBMS.2013.6627755","url":null,"abstract":"Consider the following healthcare trends: (1) There is a tremendous increase in the amount of patient, life sciences and process data in electronic form, fueled by advances in healthcare IT technology, and health reform legislation. (2) The amount of medical information (e.g., evidence-based knowledge) and published knowledge is said to be doubling every few years. (3) There is an explosion in the number of available therapies and diagnostic options for patient care, often enabling precise targeting of therapy to disease conditions. In this talk we will discuss these trends and some of the reasons why, despite these advances, healthcare is facing a crisis: namely, there is a steady unsustainable increase in medical costs without a corresponding improvement of patient outcomes. We believe that analysis of clinical, life sciences and medical process data can play a key role in tackling these fundamental challenges. Two technology advances, in particular, can play a key role: cloud computing and mobility will make it possible to analyze vast amounts of data and quickly deliver useful information to clinicians, consumers and researchers at the point where it can have the most impact. Some of this is already happening today, with medical records being analyzed to reduce fraud, waste and abuse, improve patient outcomes, and to improve compliance with standards of care and policy guidelines. We conclude the talk with a glimpse of a future where medical systems could be continually analyzed for optimizing healthcare costs and outcomes.","PeriodicalId":74567,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

{"title":"Why don't engineers and clinicians talk the same language - And what to do about it?","authors":"J. Wyatt","doi":"10.1109/CBMS.2013.6627753","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CBMS.2013.6627753","url":null,"abstract":"In my experience, presentations at AIME, IEEE or EFMI conferences often describe work by academic engineers using patients as a source of data to explore new modelling methods, and few demonstrate convincing solutions to real world clinical problems. One reason for this is that many doctors make themselves inaccessible, so engineers find it hard to engage them in projects. Since healthcare and medical work are very complex, it takes years of exposure to clinicians and healthcare settings for an engineer to understand real-world patient management problems in sufficient detail to help solve them. This means that sometimes, an engineer might believe they have solved the problem, while to a clinician they have only explored an irrelevant simplification of it. Another explanation is that some engineering academics have had their fingers burned by clinicians, who expect the engineer to carry out an everyday system development task with no research payload. Such engineers will become suspicious of engaging too closely with doctors. Cynics might be less fair, observing that since medical research is well funded, there is a tendency for engineers to apply any novel engineering method to a simplified health data as this is more likely to attract funding than applying their method to, say, linguistics data. However, I believe there is a deeper explanation of why so few bioengineering projects seem to bear clinically digestible fruit: there are fundamental differences in motivation, research focus and research methods between engineering and healthcare research domains, and in the kind of problems they address. For example, the engineering approaches used in the Virtual Physiological Human programme mainly involve data mining and modelling, while clinicians emphasise using psychological, social or other theories to understand and formalise a complex problem first, then use empirical testing to find out whether a theory-based solution works - the evidence based approach. It is clearly unhelpful for engineers to criticise doctors as being poor collaborators in multidisciplinary projects, just as it is for doctors to criticise engineers. So, the aim of this talk is to move beyond name calling to explore common ground constructively and to provoke useful reflection and discussion, both within and across these disciplines. This talk will therefore explore some of the similarities and differences between engineering and healthcare as research disciplines, their respective approaches to problem solving and attempt to build bridges between these two very different worlds. In conclusion, unless we describe the features of this uneasy stand-off between engineers and clinicians, confront it head on and provoke debate, it looks set to continue. This will reduce productivity on both sides and limit the enormous scientific, economic and social benefits that novel, clinically appropriate and collaboratively engineered systems can generate.","PeriodicalId":74567,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.

AudioSense further characterizes a patient's listening context by recording their GPS location and sound samples. By creating a time-synchronized record of listening performance and listening contexts, AudioSense will allow researchers to understand the relationship between listening context and hearing aid performance.

{"title":"Rotation Forest and Random Oracles: Two Classifier Ensemble Methods","authors":"Juan José Rodríguez Diez","doi":"10.1109/CBMS.2007.94","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CBMS.2007.94","url":null,"abstract":"Classification methods are widely used in computer-based medical systems. Often, the accuracy of a classifier can be improved using a classifier ensemble, the combination of several classifiers. Two classifiers ensembles and their results on several medical data sets will be presented: Rotation Forest (Rodriguez, Kuncheva and Alonso) and Random Oracles (Kuncheva and Rodriguez). Rotation Forest is a method for generating classifier ensembles based on feature extraction. To create the training data for a base classifier, the feature set is randomly split into K subsets (K is a parameter of the algorithm) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to each subset. All principal components are retained in order to preserve the variability information in the data. Thus, K axis rotations take place to form the new features for a base classifier. The idea of the rotation approach is to encourage simultaneously individual accuracy and diversity within the ensemble. Diversity is promoted through the feature extraction for each base classifier. Decision trees were chosen here because they are sensitive to rotation of the feature axes, hence the name \"forest.\" Accuracy is sought by keeping all principal components and also using the whole data set to train each base classifier. Comparisons with various standard ensemble methods (Bagging, AdaBoost, and Random Forest) will be reported. Diversity-error diagrams reveal that Rotation Forest ensembles construct individual classifiers which are more accurate than these in AdaBoost and Random Forest and more diverse than these in Bagging, sometimes more accurate as well. A random oracle classifier is a mini-ensemble formed by a pair of classifiers and a fixed, randomly created oracle that selects between them. The random oracle can be thought of as a random discriminant function which splits the data into two subsets with no regard of any class labels or cluster structure. Two random oracles has been considered: linear and spherical. A random oracle classifier can be used as the base classifier of any ensemble method. It is argued that this approach encourages extra diversity in the ensemble while allowing for high accuracy of the individual ensemble members. Experiments with several data sets from UCI and 11 ensemble models will be reported. Each ensemble model will be examined with and without the oracle. The results will show that all ensemble methods benefited from the new approach, most markedly so random subspace and bagging. A further experiment with seven real medical data sets will demonstrate the validity of these findings outside the UCI data collection. When using Naive Bayes Classifiers as base classifiers, the experiments show that ensembles based solely upon the spherical oracle (and no other ensemble heuristic) outrank Bagging, Wagging, Random Subspaces, AdaBoost.Ml, MultiBoost and Decorate. Moreover, all these ensemble methods are better with any of the two random oracles than their standard ","PeriodicalId":74567,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings.
