| Abstract | Automatic discovery of medical knowledge using data mining has great potential benefit in improving population health and reducing healthcare cost. Discovering adverse drug reaction (ADR) is especially important because of the significant morbidity of ADRs to patients. Recently, more and more patients describe the ADRs they experienced and seek for help through online health forums, creating great opportunities for these forums to discover previously unknown ADRs. In this paper, we propose a novel unsupervised approach to tap into the increasingly available health forums to mine the side effect symptoms of drugs mentioned by forum users. Our approach is based on a novel probabilistic mixture model of symptoms, where the side effect symptoms and disease symptoms are explicitly modeled with two separate component models, and discovery of side effect symptoms can be achieved in an unsupervised way through fitting the mixture model to the forum data. Extensive experiments on online health forums demonstrate that our proposed model is effective for discovering the reported ADRs on forums in a completely unsupervised way. The mined knowledge using our model is directly useful for increasing our understanding of more challenging ADRs, such as long-term side effects, drug-drug interactions, and rare side effects. Since our approach is unsupervised, it can be applied to mining large amounts of growing forum data to discover new knowledge about ADRs, helping many patients become aware of possible ADRs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
