Fuzzy Approach Topic Discovery in Health and Medical Corpora
TLDR
F fuzzy latent semantic analysis (FLSA) is described, a novel approach in topic modeling using fuzzy perspective that can handle health and medical corpora redundancy issue and provides a new method to estimate the number of topics.Abstract:
The majority of medical documents and electronic health records are in text format that poses a challenge for data processing and finding relevant documents. Looking for ways to automatically retrieve the enormous amount of health and medical knowledge has always been an intriguing topic. Powerful methods have been developed in recent years to make the text processing automatic. One of the popular approaches to retrieve information based on discovering the themes in health and medical corpora is topic modeling; however, this approach still needs new perspectives. In this research, we describe fuzzy latent semantic analysis (FLSA), a novel approach in topic modeling using fuzzy perspective. FLSA can handle health and medical corpora redundancy issue and provides a new method to estimate the number of topics. The quantitative evaluations show that FLSA produces superior performance and features to latent Dirichlet allocation, the most popular topic model.read more

Outline of a New Approach to the Analysis of Complex Systems and Decision Processes
TL;DR: By relying on the use of linguistic variables and fuzzy algorithms, the approach provides an approximate and yet effective means of describing the behavior of systems which are too complex or too ill-defined to admit of precise mathematical analysis.
