Abstract

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) clinical intelligent decision-making assistance has been a research hotspot in recent years. However, the recommendations of TCM disease diagnosis based on the current symptoms are difficult to achieve a good accuracy rate because of the ambiguity of the names of TCM diseases. The medical record data downloaded from ancient and modern medical records cloud platform developed by the Institute of Medical Information on TCM of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences (CACMC) and the practice guidelines data in the TCM clinical decision supporting system were utilized as the corpus. Based on the empirical analysis, a variety of improved Naïve Bayes algorithms are presented. The research findings show that the Naïve Bayes algorithm with main symptom weighted and equal probability has achieved better results, with an accuracy rate of 84.2%, which is 15.2% higher than the 69% of the classic Naïve Bayes algorithm (without prior probability). The performance of the Naïve Bayes classifier is greatly improved, and it has certain clinical practicability. The model is currently available at http://tcmcdsmvc.yiankb.com/.
