Description

Disease prediction method, disease prediction model training method and device

Technical Field

The embodiment of the application relates to the technical field of artificial intelligence, in particular to a disease prediction method, a disease prediction model training method and a device.

Background

Along with the development of artificial intelligence, disease prediction functions are widely applied to the field of disease auxiliary diagnosis. The disease prediction function can be integrated in an intelligent medical disease auxiliary decision-making system, and the possible disease condition of the user can be intelligently estimated according to the disease condition information of the user. The disease prediction schemes mainly comprise two types, namely a disease reasoning scheme based on expert rules, and relevant diagnosis and treatment rules are arranged mainly according to authoritative medical knowledge or medical experience, so that an experience decision system is constructed for disease diagnosis; the other is a disease prediction scheme based on data driving, namely, a machine learning or deep learning model is built based on large-scale electronic physiological data to perform disease prediction.

The disease reasoning scheme based on expert rules has the advantages of being relatively simple and direct, and the rules have certain evidence-based and explanatory properties, and the disadvantages are that the arrangement of expert rules requires a great deal of manual work, and the rules cannot be automatically updated along with the update of medical knowledge. In addition, the background and experience of different medical institutions and specialists are quite different, so that rule decision making has certain limitation. The data-driven disease prediction scheme can achieve higher accuracy based on the existing pre-trained model and a large amount of data, but at the same time sacrifices a certain interpretability. In addition, in the case of diseases with low morbidity, the traditional neural network model may have poor prediction effect due to insufficient training data. Currently, there is no disease prediction scheme that can fuse these two schemes.

The embodiment of the application is applied to the technical field of artificial intelligence.

Among these, artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence, AI) is the theory, method, technique and application system that uses a digital computer or a digital computer-controlled machine to simulate, extend and extend human intelligence, sense the environment, acquire knowledge and use knowledge to obtain optimal results. In other words, artificial intelligence is an integrated technology of computer science that attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and to produce a new intelligent machine that can react in a similar way to human intelligence. Artificial intelligence, i.e. research on design principles and implementation methods of various intelligent machines, enables the machines to have functions of sensing, reasoning and decision.

The artificial intelligence technology is a comprehensive subject, and relates to the technology with wide fields, namely the technology with a hardware level and the technology with a software level. Artificial intelligence infrastructure technologies generally include technologies such as sensors, dedicated artificial intelligence chips, cloud computing, distributed storage, big data processing technologies, operation/interaction systems, mechatronics, and the like. The artificial intelligence software technology mainly comprises a computer vision technology, a voice processing technology, a natural language processing technology, machine learning/deep learning and other directions.

With research and advancement of artificial intelligence technology, research and application of artificial intelligence technology is being developed in various fields, such as common smart home, smart wearable devices, virtual assistants, smart speakers, smart marketing, unmanned, automatic driving, unmanned aerial vehicles, robots, smart medical treatment, smart customer service, etc., and it is believed that with the development of technology, artificial intelligence technology will be applied in more fields and with increasing importance value.

Embodiments of the present application may relate to natural language processing (Nature Language processing, NLP) in artificial intelligence technology, an important direction in the field of computer science and artificial intelligence. It is studying various theories and methods that enable effective communication between a person and a computer in natural language. Natural language processing is a science that integrates linguistics, computer science, and mathematics. Thus, the research in this field will involve natural language, i.e. language that people use daily, so it has a close relationship with the research in linguistics. Natural language processing techniques typically include text processing, semantic understanding, machine translation, robotic questions and answers, knowledge graph techniques, and the like.

Embodiments of the present application may also relate to Machine Learning (ML) in artificial intelligence technology, where ML is a multi-domain interdisciplinary, and relates to multiple disciplines such as probability theory, statistics, approximation theory, convex analysis, and algorithm complexity theory. It is specially studied how a computer simulates or implements learning behavior of a human to acquire new knowledge or skills, and reorganizes existing knowledge structures to continuously improve own performance. Machine learning is the core of artificial intelligence, a fundamental approach to letting computers have intelligence, which is applied throughout various areas of artificial intelligence. Machine learning and deep learning typically include techniques such as artificial neural networks, confidence networks, reinforcement learning, transfer learning, induction learning, teaching learning, and the like.

First, related terms related to the embodiments of the present application will be described.

First order logic: first-order logic (FOL), also known as first-order predicate logic (first-order predicate logic), is a formal inference logic system. In predicate logic, predicates can be divided into two parts, predicate names and individuals, wherein an individual is a subject in a proposition, and is used for representing a certain independent thing or a certain abstract concept, and predicate names are predicates of the proposition, and are used for representing properties, states or relations among individuals, and the like. The first-order predicate logic is a formal language that approximates natural language, knowledge represented by it is easily accepted, and the predicate logic is a binary logic, only true or false scores, with which precise knowledge can be expressed. Illustrating: the x represents an electronic physiological data, the predicate Symptom (x) represents that the physiological data x contains typical symptoms of influenza, and the predicate Disease (x) represents that the diagnosis of x is influenza. Expressed as Symptom (x) = > Disease (x): if physiological data x contains typical symptoms of influenza, then the disease to which x corresponds is diagnosed as influenza.

Fuzzy logic: fuzzy logic (fuzzy logic) is a mathematical method of processing uncertainty and ambiguity information, and aims to solve the problem that conventional binary logic (i.e. true or false) is difficult to process. Fuzzy logic allows us to use fuzzy sets to represent uncertainties and ambiguities to better address complex problems in the real world. For example, some physiological data x contains many symptoms, some are typical symptoms of influenza, some are not, and when the physiological data x contains typical symptoms of influenza, the logic symptomm (x) has a certain uncertainty, the fuzzy logic represents the uncertainty by membership (between 0 and 1), and the uncertainty can be used for synthesizing a plurality of fuzzy logics, so as to perform fuzzy reasoning and decision.

Convolutional neural network: (Convolutional Neural Network, CNN) is a feed-forward neural network that covers a portion of the information of the peripheral neurons by a convolutional layer and a pooling layer. Convolutional neural networks consist of one or more convolutional layers and a top fully-connected layer, which also includes associated weights and pooling layers. This architecture enables convolutional neural networks to be trained using a two-dimensional structure of input data, as well as using back-propagation algorithms. Convolutional neural networks require fewer parameters to consider and have wide application in both image and text processing.

Cyclic neural network: (Recurrent Neural Network, RNN) is a very classical sequence-oriented network model that models natural language sentences or other timing signals. It has only one physical RNN unit, but the RNN unit may be expanded in time steps, with each time step receiving the input of the current time step and the output of the previous time step, and then performing the calculation to obtain the output of the current time step.

At present, two disease prediction schemes are mainly adopted, one is a disease reasoning scheme based on expert rules, and related diagnosis and treatment rules are mainly arranged according to authoritative medical knowledge or medical experience, so that an experience decision system is constructed for disease diagnosis; the other is a disease prediction scheme based on data driving, namely, a machine learning or deep learning model is built based on large-scale electronic physiological data to perform disease prediction.

The disease reasoning scheme based on expert rules has the advantages of being relatively simple and direct, and the rules have certain evidence-based and explanatory properties, and the disadvantages are that the arrangement of expert rules requires a great deal of manual work, and the rules cannot be automatically updated along with the update of medical knowledge. In addition, the background and experience of different medical institutions and specialists are quite different, so that rule decision making has certain limitation. The data-driven disease prediction scheme can achieve higher accuracy based on the existing pre-trained model and a large amount of data, but at the same time sacrifices a certain interpretability. In addition, in the case of diseases with low morbidity, the traditional neural network model may have poor prediction effect due to insufficient training data.

Currently, there is no disease prediction scheme that can fuse these two schemes. The disease reasoning scheme based on expert rules and the disease prediction scheme based on data driving have advantages and disadvantages, and how to combine the two schemes to conduct disease prediction becomes a difficulty in the field of disease diagnosis.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides a disease prediction method, which can implement the organic fusion of a disease reasoning scheme based on expert rules and a disease prediction scheme based on data driving, and is beneficial to improving the accuracy and the interpretability of disease prediction.

Specifically, diagnostic knowledge information of the subject may be acquired; matching the diagnosis knowledge information with at least one logic rule to obtain a matching result of the diagnosis knowledge information and the at least one logic rule; wherein the at least one logic rule includes rules for diagnosing knowledge information into at least one disease category; inputting the diagnosis knowledge information into a neural network model for feature extraction to obtain a first disease feature of the diagnosis knowledge information; the first disease feature has a dimension equal to the number of the at least one disease category; inputting the matching result and the first disease characteristics into a knowledge enhancement network, and carrying out data enhancement on the characteristics of the dimension corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease characteristics to obtain second disease characteristics; based on the second disease characteristic, a disease category of the subject is predicted.

According to the method and the device, the diagnosis knowledge information of the object is matched with at least one logic rule, and the matching result is used as an expert rule to carry out data enhancement on the first disease feature of the diagnosis knowledge information extracted by the neural network, so that the enhanced second disease feature is fused with the expert rule and the disease feature extracted by the neural network, and therefore the disease prediction can be carried out according to the second disease feature, the disease reasoning scheme based on the expert rule and the disease prediction scheme based on data driving are organically fused, the knowledge experience rule formed in the industry for a long time can be utilized, the disease prediction can be carried out by utilizing the calculation model based on data driving, and the accuracy and the interpretability of the disease prediction can be improved.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario according to an embodiment of the present application.

As shown in fig. 1, the application scenario involves a server 1 and a terminal device 2, and the terminal device 2 may communicate data with the server 1 through a communication network. The server 1 may be a background server of the terminal device 2.

The terminal device 2 may be, for example, a device with rich man-machine interaction, internet access capability, various operating systems, and strong processing capability. The terminal device may be a terminal device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, a portable notebook computer, a desktop computer, a wearable device, a vehicle-mounted device, etc., but is not limited thereto. Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present application, the terminal device 2 is installed with an application program for disease prediction or an application program having a disease prediction function.

The server 1 may be an independent physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system formed by a plurality of physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDNs (Content Delivery Network, content delivery networks), basic cloud computing services such as big data and artificial intelligent platforms, and the like. Servers may also become nodes of the blockchain.

The server may be one or more. Where the server is multiple, there are at least two servers for providing different services and/or there are at least two servers for providing the same service, such as providing the same service in a load balancing manner, which embodiments of the present application are not limited.

The terminal device and the server may be directly or indirectly connected through wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in this application. The number of servers or terminal devices is not limited in this application. The scheme provided by the application can be independently completed by the terminal equipment, can be independently completed by the server, and can be completed by the cooperation of the terminal equipment and the server, and the application is not limited in this way.

It should be understood that fig. 1 is only an exemplary illustration, and does not specifically limit the application scenario of the embodiments of the present application. For example, fig. 1 illustrates one terminal device, one server, and may actually include other numbers of terminal devices and servers, which the present application is not limited to.

The embodiment of the application can be applied to any application scene of disease auxiliary diagnosis. Fig. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the interface of the disease-assisted diagnostic product. As shown in fig. 2, a user may input patient visit information, such as including basic information and symptom information of a patient, in a patient information input box 210. For example, the basic information of the patient may include information that can be used for disease diagnosis, such as patient age, patient sex, and registration department. As a specific example, in the patient information input box 210, the patient age is 30, the sex is female, the department of registration is gynaecology, the patient complaint is "obesity", and the current medical history (i.e., symptom information) is: purple skin with lines, hair enlargement, slow or stagnant growth, shorter length, etc. The disease auxiliary diagnostic system can predict the possible disease type of the patient according to the patient's visit information. With continued reference to fig. 2, the disease prediction box 220 displays a list of predicted disease types for the current patient, pre-predicted 4: obesity, polycystic ovary syndrome, hypercortisolism, and amenorrhea. The doctor determines that the predicted disease list meets the medical rationality.

In the disease prediction process, the original end-to-end neural network model fails to predict the disease type because of the low incidence of hypercortisolism and the corresponding insufficient sample size of training data. However, according to the embodiment of the application, typical symptoms of hypercortisolism can be obtained through rules of prior treatment information to disease types, such as hirsutism, central obesity, skin purple streak and the like, so that the disease types of hypercortisolism can be accurately predicted through enhancing the output of the neural network model through prior knowledge.

The following describes the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application in detail through some embodiments. The following embodiments may be combined with each other, and some embodiments may not be repeated for the same or similar concepts or processes.

Fig. 3 is a schematic flow chart of a disease prediction method 300 according to an embodiment of the present application, where the disease prediction method 300 may be performed by any electronic device having data processing capabilities, e.g., the electronic device may be implemented as a server or a terminal device, e.g., may be implemented as the server 1 or the terminal device 2 in fig. 1, which is not limited in this application. As shown in fig. 3, the disease prediction method 300 includes steps 310 to 350.

At 310, diagnostic knowledge information of the subject is obtained, the diagnostic knowledge information being used to determine a disease type.

Illustratively, the entered diagnostic knowledge information of the patient may be obtained through an interactive interface of the disease-assisted diagnostic system, such as the interface of FIG. 2. The diagnosis knowledge information is used to determine the disease type of the subject, and may be referred to as diagnosis knowledge, diagnosis information, or the like, without limitation.

Illustratively, the diagnostic knowledge information includes, but is not limited to, at least one of symptom information, medical history information, disease-inducing factor information. Alternatively, the diagnosis knowledge information may further include at least one of information for diagnosing a disease, such as age, sex, morbidity, etc., without limitation.

In some embodiments, the diagnosis text data may be acquired, the diagnosis knowledge information may be identified by the diagnosis text data, and the identified diagnosis knowledge information may be normalized to obtain normalized diagnosis knowledge information. For example, when the visit text data X includes: the man, 25 years old, the high fever accompanies debilitation, coughs, aversion to cold three days … and other text data, and the diagnosis knowledge information can be obtained by identifying and standardizing the diagnosis knowledge information: men, 25 years old, high fever, debilitation, cough, aversion to cold, etc.; wherein, men and 25 years old are basic information of patients, and high fever, hypodynamia, cough and aversion to cold are symptom information. By standardizing the diagnostic knowledge information, rapid and accurate data processing, such as data storage or data matching, may be facilitated.

320, matching the diagnosis knowledge information with at least one logic rule to obtain a matching result of the diagnosis knowledge information and the at least one logic rule; wherein the at least one logic rule includes rules for diagnosing knowledge information into at least one disease category.

The at least one logic rule may be obtained prior to step 320. For example, a medical logic knowledge base may be constructed including the at least one logic rule. As shown in fig. 4, the at least one logic rule may be obtained through the following steps 321 and 322.

321, a medical knowledge statement is acquired, which medical knowledge statement is used to characterize the relationship of the diagnostic knowledge information and the disease type.

Specifically, medical knowledge sentences can be obtained according to authoritative medical knowledge or medical experience. The medical Knowledge may include Knowledge experience formed in the medical field for a long time, and may be "Prior Knowledge (Prior knowledges)" in the embodiments of the present application. By way of example, the medical knowledge statement may include a declarative medical knowledge statement describing the relationship of diagnostic knowledge information (e.g., symptom information, age information, gender, etc.) to a disease type. The medical knowledge sentence may be also called a disease diagnosis sentence, a disease diagnosis knowledge, or the like, without limitation.

Illustratively, the medical knowledge statement is usually in the form of a natural language description, for example, a, b, c, etc. are typical symptoms of a disease a, and a person with high incidence of a disease is preschool children. As a specific example, the medical knowledge statement may be: the symptoms of high fever with debilitation are common in influenza, cold intolerance and polycystic ovary syndrome is a common disease caused by endocrine and metabolic abnormality of women of childbearing age, and the polycystic ovary syndrome is mainly clinically manifested by irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, hirsutism and/or acne and the like.

322, performing diagnosis knowledge information identification and disease type identification on the medical knowledge statement to obtain at least one logic rule.

By way of example, combining diagnostic information identified from a medical knowledge statement with a disease category may result in a logical rule of the diagnostic information to the disease category. The logic rule may be a first order logic or a first order predicate logic, where an individual may be a disease category and a predicate name may be visit information.

As one implementation, the logic rules may be expressed in the form of "IF … THEN …". Wherein the part after the IF before the THEN is a front piece of the logic rule, i.e. the condition of the IF, and the part after the THEN is a result of the logic rule, i.e. the front piece after the IF can produce the result after the THEN.

For example, for the medical knowledge statement "high fever with systemic debilitation is common to influenza", symptom information (an example of diagnosis knowledge information) can be identified as high fever, debilitation, disease category as influenza is identified, AND the corresponding obtained logic rule is "IF fever AND debilitation THEN influenza"; for the medical knowledge statement "cold intolerance state of influenza", the symptom information can be identified as cold intolerance, the disease category is identified as influenza, and the corresponding obtained logic rule is "IF cold intolerance THEN influenza"; for the medical knowledge statement "polycystic ovary syndrome is a disease caused by endocrine AND metabolic abnormality common to women of childbearing age", the age (one example of diagnosis knowledge information) can be identified as the childbearing age, the sex (one example of diagnosis knowledge information) as the female, the disease-inducing factor as endocrine AND metabolic abnormality, the disease category as polycystic ovary syndrome, the corresponding obtained logic rule as "IF childbearing age AND female AND endocrine AND metabolic abnormality THEN polycystic ovary syndrome"; for the medical knowledge statement "polycystic ovary syndrome is mainly clinically represented by irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, hirsutism AND/or acne", the symptom information can be identified as irregular menstrual cycle, infertility, hirsutism AND/or acne, the disease category is identified as polycystic ovary syndrome, AND the corresponding obtained logic rule is "IF irregular menstrual cycle AND infertility AND hirsutism AND acne chen polycystic ovary syndrome".

Alternatively, the diagnostic knowledge information identified from the medical knowledge sentence may be subjected to a normalization process to obtain normalized diagnostic knowledge information. For example, for the medical knowledge statement "high fever with systemic debilitation commonly found in influenza", the identified symptom information is "high fever with systemic debilitation", and after standardized processing, the symptom information is "high fever, debilitation", and the characters or words without corresponding actual symptoms are removed.

Alternatively, the disease type identified from the medical knowledge statement may also be subjected to a normalization process to obtain a normalized disease type.

Further, based on standardized diagnostic information and/or disease type, corresponding logic rules may be derived. By standardizing the diagnostic knowledge information and/or the disease type, a fast and accurate data processing, such as data storage or data matching, may be facilitated.

Alternatively, the weight (also referred to as confidence) of each logic rule may also be obtained. Illustratively, the weights may be between 0-1. In general, a medical knowledge statement is described in more detail for disease diagnosis knowledge, and the more certain the medical knowledge statement is used for, the higher the credibility of the medical knowledge statement is, the larger the weight is, and the larger the corresponding weight is for obtaining a logic rule according to the medical knowledge statement. As an achievable way, the medical knowledge statement may be labeled with weights by a specialist, which weights may also be weights of the logic rules derived from the medical knowledge statement.

For example, "high fever with debilitation commonly found in influenza" has a weight of 0.7, AND the corresponding "IF fever AND debilitation THEN influenza" has a weight of 0.7; the weight of "aversion to cold" is usually found in influenza "is 0.4, and the weight of" IF aversion to cold THEN influenza "is 0.4.

In some embodiments, after the at least one logical rule is obtained, the at least one logical rule may be stored in a database. Alternatively, the weight of each logic rule may also be stored in the database. The database may be referred to as, without limitation, a medical logic rule base, or a medical logic knowledge base.

Alternatively, assuming that the number of disease categories corresponding to the disease prediction is N, the database may include logic rules corresponding to the N disease categories. For example, medical knowledge sentences related to 270 kinds of diseases can be collected currently, and logic rules corresponding to the 270 kinds of diseases are obtained according to the medical knowledge sentences, wherein each logic rule corresponds to one disease type and corresponding diagnosis knowledge. It should be appreciated that a disease type may correspond to one or more logical rules, which are not limited in this application.

In some embodiments, in step 320, the diagnostic knowledge information may be matched with at least one logic rule in the knowledge base or rule base to obtain a matching result of the diagnostic knowledge information with each logic rule. The matching result of the diagnosis knowledge information and the logic rule can be determined according to the matching degree of the diagnosis knowledge information and the front piece in the logic rule.

Illustratively, when part or all of the diagnostic knowledge information is completely matched with the front piece in one logic rule, the degree of matching of the diagnostic knowledge information with the logic rule is 100%; when part or all of the diagnostic knowledge information is matched with the front piece 50% in one logic rule, the matching degree of the diagnostic knowledge information and the logic rule is 50%; when part or all of the information in the diagnosis knowledge information is completely unmatched with the front piece in one logic rule, the degree of matching of the diagnosis knowledge information with the logic rule is 0.

330, inputting the diagnosis knowledge information into a neural network model for feature extraction to obtain first disease features of the diagnosis knowledge information; the dimension of the first disease feature is equal to the number of the at least one disease category.

Wherein each dimension of the first disease feature may correspond to a disease category. For example, when the number of disease types that the neural network model can predict is N, the first disease feature may be an N-dimensional feature, each dimension of which may correspond to one disease type, and the feature of the corresponding dimension corresponds to a feature component of the diagnostic knowledge information in the corresponding disease type. Optionally, the disease type that the neural network model can predict is the same as the disease type corresponding to the logic rules in the database.

By way of example, the neural network model may include, without limitation, a CNN or RNN, or other neural network having a feature extraction function or encoding function, such as a transducer encoder, etc.

In some embodiments, the first disease feature may be an output layer feature of the neural network model, the vector dimension of the output layer feature being the same as the number of predicted disease types. As one implementation, the output layer feature is the output feature prior to activation.

And 340, inputting the matching result and the first disease characteristics into a knowledge enhancement module, and carrying out data enhancement on the characteristics of the dimensions corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease characteristics to obtain second disease characteristics.

For example, if the diagnosis knowledge information is matched (e.g., the matching degree is between 0 and 100%) to one or more logic rules corresponding to a certain disease category, data enhancement may be performed on the feature of the dimension corresponding to the disease category in the first disease feature, and the enhanced first disease feature is the second disease feature.

In some embodiments, FIG. 5 shows a schematic diagram of a process for data enhancement. As shown in fig. 5, after the diagnostic knowledge information X is input into the neural network model 501, an output layer feature Y is obtained, and the output layer feature Y may be further input into the knowledge-enhanced neural network element 502. The matching result of the diagnostic knowledge information and at least one logic rule obtained at the same time can be used as priori knowledge 503 to be input into knowledge coding 504, the coding result is input into knowledge enhancement neural network element 502, and data enhancement is performed on the output layer feature Y to obtain an enhanced feature Y'.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 6, the second disease feature may be obtained through the following steps 341 and 342.

And 341, synthesizing at least one logic rule according to the matching result to obtain a synthetic knowledge rule, wherein the synthetic knowledge rule comprises at least one first-order logic of at least one disease category corresponding to the diagnosis knowledge information.

For example, the at least one disease category to which the diagnostic knowledge information corresponds may be predicted N disease categories.

Wherein the composite knowledge rule may comprise at least one weighted first order logic. This first order logic can be expressed as [ Symptom (X) ], i.e. the diagnostic knowledge information X contains typical symptoms of the disease Y. For N disease categories, the synthetic knowledge rules may include N categories of this first order logic.

In some embodiments, the synthetic knowledge rules may be obtained through the following steps 3411 through 3413.

3411 determining M logic rules matched with the diagnosis knowledge information according to the matching result.

For example, when the degree of matching of the diagnostic knowledge information with the front piece of the logic rule is greater than 0, the logic rule may be determined to be the logic rule matching the diagnostic knowledge.

3412 performing fuzzy logic processing on the logic rules corresponding to the same disease category in the M logic rules to obtain the first-order logic of the same disease category in the synthetic knowledge rule.

Specifically, when the M logic rules include logic rules of the same disease category, fuzzy logic processing may be performed according to logic rules corresponding to the same disease category in the M logic rules, so as to obtain first-order logic of the same disease category in the synthetic knowledge rule. Optionally, the first order logic is weighted first order logic.

For example, for s logic rules corresponding to the same disease type, fuzzy logic processing, such as extraction operation, may be performed on the front part and the weight of the s logic rules, so as to obtain a calculation result as the first-order logic of the disease type in the synthetic knowledge rule. The disjunctive operation corresponds to an OR operation in the binary logic and is used for calculating the union of two fuzzy sets: d (x) =max (a (x), B (x)). Optionally, the front pieces of the s logic rules are subjected to fuzzy logic processing, for example, a union of the front pieces of the s logic rules is taken as typical diagnosis information (such as typical symptoms) of the disease type in the synthetic knowledge rule. The more typical diagnostic information for a disease type in the synthetic knowledge rules, the greater the likelihood that the diagnostic knowledge information corresponds to that disease type. Alternatively, the result of fuzzy logic processing by the weight of the s logic rules may be the maximum weight in the s logic rules.

As a specific example, when diagnosing knowledge information: when a man is 25 years old, the man is 100% matched with the front part of logic rule #1 of IF high heat AND hypodynamia THEN influenza AND is 100% matched with the front part of logic rule #2 of IF high heat AND hypodynamia THEN influenza AND is not matched with other logic rules corresponding to influenza diseases, the two logic rules are subjected to extraction operation to obtain the weight of the first-order logic of the diagnosis knowledge information corresponding to the influenza in the synthetic rule of 0.7, namely the weight of the diagnosis knowledge information corresponding to typical symptoms of the influenza in the synthetic knowledge rule of 0.7. Here, typical symptoms of influenza are the extracted arithmetic results of these two logical rules, namely including "high fever, hypodynamia, aversion to cold".

3413 obtaining the first order logic of the other disease categories in the synthetic knowledge rule according to the logic rules corresponding to the other disease categories except the same disease category in the M logic rules.

For example, for a disease type #1 other than the same disease type among the M logic rules, the diagnosis knowledge information is matched to one logic rule #1 corresponding to the disease type #1, and at this time, the first order logic of the disease type #1 in the synthetic knowledge rule can be obtained according to the logic rule #1, which indicates that the diagnosis knowledge information includes typical symptoms of the disease type # 1. Alternatively, the weight of the first order logic may be determined according to the weight of the logic rule # 1.

Optionally, the weight of the first-order logic of the diagnosis knowledge information corresponding to the logic rule corresponding to the disease type in the synthetic knowledge rule may be determined according to the matching degree of the diagnosis knowledge information and the front piece of the logic rule and the weight of the logic rule. For example, the weight of the first order logic corresponding to the type of disease in the composite knowledge rule may be determined based on the product of the degree of matching of the diagnostic knowledge information with the front piece of the logic rule and the weight of the logic rule.

For example, when the matching degree of the diagnosis knowledge information and the front piece of one logic rule is 0, the weight of the first-order logic corresponding to the disease category in the diagnosis knowledge information in the synthetic knowledge rule is 0; when the matching degree of the diagnosis knowledge information and the front piece of one logic rule is 100%, the weight of the first-order logic corresponding to the diagnosis knowledge information in the synthesized knowledge rule is the weight of the logic rule.

342, inputting the synthetic knowledge rule and the first disease feature into a knowledge enhancement network, and performing data enhancement on the feature of the dimension corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease feature to obtain a second disease feature.

Illustratively, with continued reference to fig. 5, the synthetic knowledge rules may be input as a priori knowledge 503 to the knowledge coding 504, and the resulting coding result may be input to the knowledge enhancement neural network element 502 to perform data enhancement on the input layer feature Y, resulting in an enhanced feature Y'.

Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the enhanced knowledge network. Assuming n disease categories, the vector dimension of the Neural Network (NN) output layer is n. In the embodiment of the application, the neuron of the output layer of the neural network can be modified to strengthen the output layer. As shown in fig. 7, a new Knowledge Enhancement (KE) module may be introduced, comprising n knowledge enhancement neurons k, updating the original output layer feature y to y'.

For one computational graph, assume that there is a non-circular conditional statement: K→Y, where K is an expression in conjunctive or disjunctive form and Y is a single predicate expression. The computational graph of neurons associated with Y can be defined as:

where g is the activation function and where,for network parameters, x is the middle layer input of y. In addition, vector K may also be defined as a neuron associated with predicate K. In fig. 7, vector K, predicate K, may be used as a priori knowledge to augment y. When predicate K is expressed as true, the value of y increases. Alternatively, the value of y may be reduced when predicate K is expressed as false. To achieve this goal, an enhanced neuronal structure may be defined, expressed as the following relationship (1):

（1）

Wherein,the method is used for capturing information whether the priori knowledge K is true or not as a distance function; />Is a super-parameter scalar for indicating the degree of data enhancement, < ->。/>

Illustratively, with continued reference to FIG. 5, knowledge encoding 504 may perform the encoding process to derive a distance functionIs input into a knowledge-enhanced neural network element 502.

According to the embodiment of the application, the implicit priori knowledge is encoded into the neural network through the definition of the enhancement neurons of the output layer, namely through the distance function, so that the neural network can adjust the downstream output value according to the output value of the upstream network, and the knowledge enhancement of the output value is realized.

In some embodiments, the second disease feature may be obtained by data enhancement of the feature of the dimension corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease feature according to steps 3421 and 3422 below.

3421 determining, by the encoding unit, a distance function from the at least one first order logic and the feature of the dimension corresponding to the at least one disease category in the first disease feature; the dimension of the distance function is the same as the dimension of the first disease feature.

Specifically, the encoding unit may encode according to at least one first-order logic of at least one disease category corresponding to the diagnosis knowledge information obtained in step 341 and the dimension feature corresponding to each disease category, and determine the distance function . Here, the first order logic corresponding to each disease type in the synthetic knowledge rule and the feature of the dimension corresponding to each disease type in the first disease feature may be encoded to obtain a value of each dimension of the distance function.

It should be noted that, the key step of constructing the knowledge enhancement neural network element is to obtain a good distance function, and the distance function can return a positive value to enhance the output layer characteristics of the neural network when the first order logic is true. Optionally, when the first order logic is false, the distance function returns a value of 0, and the output layer characteristics of the neural network are not enhanced. Based on this, the present embodiment adopts the following two calculation methods to acquire the distance function.

As a first calculation method, the encoding unit may perform a trigonometric norm (T-norm) operation on at least one first order logic and a feature of a dimension corresponding to at least one disease category in the first disease feature to obtain the distance function.

By way of example, the trigonometric norm operation may be expressed as the following expression:

wherein,representation->The state of the corresponding neuron. Exemplary, ->The value of (2) is in the range of 0 to 1.

Wherein,and the feature of the dimension corresponding to the ith disease category in the first order logic of the ith disease category in the synthetic knowledge rule or the first disease feature is represented. / >May be referred to as a precondition predicate. Alternatively, the synthetic knowledge rule may include, without limitation, first order logic of various diagnostic knowledge information (such as symptom information, evoked factor information, medical history information, etc.) corresponding to influenza, or first order logic of other types of diagnostic information.

Specifically, according to the triangular normsThe distance function obtained by the operation is a distance function in a conjunctive form, and the meaning is that the return value of the distance function is 0 as long as one of the plurality of preconditions predicates is false. When all of the plurality of preconditions predicates are true, the return value of the distance function is。

As a specific example, for a certain diagnostic knowledge information x, if the output layer feature of the neural network corresponds to the predicted value y=0.5 of influenza, and the weight of the first order logic corresponding to the typical symptom of influenza in the synthetic knowledge rule is 0.7, that is, the knowledge enhancement neuron k=0.7, the distance function in the conjunctive form is adopted to obtain d=0.5+0.7-2+1=0.2.

As a second calculation method, the encoding unit may perform a trigonometric residual norm (T-norm) operation on at least one first order logic and a feature of a dimension corresponding to at least one disease category in the first disease feature to obtain the distance function.

By way of example, the trigonometric residual norm operation may be expressed as the following expression:

wherein,representation->The state of the corresponding neuron. Exemplary, ->The value of (2) is in the range of 0 to 1. />The meaning of (c) may be found in the description above.

Specifically, the distance function obtained by the trigonometric residual norm calculation is a distance function in a disjunctive form, which means that only if all of the plurality of preconditions predicates areIf false, the return value of the distance function is 0. When one of the plurality of preconditions predicates is true, the return value of the distance function is。

As a specific example, for a certain diagnostic knowledge information x, if the output layer feature of the neural network corresponds to the predicted value y=0.5 of influenza, and the weight of the first order logic corresponding to the typical symptom of influenza in the synthetic knowledge rule is 0.7, that is, the knowledge enhancement neuron k=0.7, d=min (1, (0.5+0.7))=1 is obtained by using the distance function in the above extraction form.

In some embodiments, the distance function comprises a differentiable distance function. When the distance function is distinguishable, a gradient descent algorithm can be adopted in the model training stage to update the model parameter value by solving the gradient of the objective function.

3422 inputting the distance function and the first disease feature into a knowledge enhancement network, and performing data enhancement on the feature of the dimension corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease feature to obtain a second disease feature.

For example, the knowledge enhancement network may superimpose a value of a dimension of at least one disease category of the distance function with a dimension feature corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease feature, to achieve data enhancement of the dimension feature corresponding to the at least one disease category of the first disease feature, resulting in the second disease feature.

Continuing with the example above, superimposing the distance function d=0.2 in the form of a conjunctive onto the predicted value y=0.5 of the output layer characteristics of the neural network for influenza, resulting in an enhanced neuron output y' =0.5+0.2=0.7; and adding the distance function d=1 in the extracted form to the predicted value y=0.5 of the output layer characteristic corresponding to the influenza of the neural network, so as to obtain the output y' =0.5+1=1.5 of the enhanced neuron.

350, predicting a disease class of the subject based on the second disease signature.

For example, a second disease feature may be entered into the classification layer to predict a disease category of the subject. As a specific example, when the first disease feature is a feature of the output layer (before being inactivated), the enhanced first disease feature, i.e. the second disease feature, may be input to the activation layer to obtain the disease type of the subject.

Therefore, according to the embodiment of the application, the diagnosis knowledge information of the object is matched with at least one logic rule, and the matching result is used as an expert rule to carry out data enhancement on the first disease feature of the diagnosis knowledge information extracted by the neural network, so that the enhanced second disease feature is fused with the expert rule and the disease feature extracted by the neural network, and the disease prediction based on the expert rule can be organically fused with the disease reasoning scheme based on the expert rule and the disease prediction scheme based on the data driving according to the second disease feature, so that the knowledge experience rule formed in the industry for a long time can be utilized, and the disease prediction can be carried out by using the calculation model based on the data driving, thereby being beneficial to improving the accuracy and the interpretability of the disease prediction.

Specifically, the medical knowledge can be subjected to keyword (such as symptom information) identification and standardization processing to obtain diagnosis knowledge information in the medical knowledge as an IF (intermediate frequency) front piece, and the obtained disease category as the THEN result, so as to construct a logic rule base. As a specific example, the logical rule for "high fever with systemic debilitation is commonly found in influenza" IF high fever AND debilitation THEN influenza "AND its weight is 0.7, AND the logical rule for" influenza with chilly symptoms "is" IF chilly THEN influenza "AND its weight is 0.4.

For example, diagnostic knowledge information of a patient may be entered at a disease assisted diagnostic system interface. The diagnosis knowledge information may include, but is not limited to, information such as symptom information, disease induction information, medical history information, age, sex, and the like. As a specific example, the diagnosis knowledge information x may be: men, 25 years old, have high fever with debilitation, cough and aversion to cold for three days.

Optionally, the input diagnostic information can be standardized, which is beneficial to rapid and accurate data processing, such as data storage or data matching.

Specifically, the diagnosis knowledge information (e.g., after normalization) can be matched with the logic rules in the logic rule base, so as to obtain a matching result of the diagnosis knowledge information and each logic rule. Specifically, the matching process may refer to the related description in step 320 in fig. 3, which is not repeated here.

As a specific example, matching the logic rule base according to the diagnosis knowledge information x may be extracted by matching the logic rule: "IF hyperthermia AND debilitation THEN influenza" AND its weight is 0.7, "IF aversion to cold THEN influenza" AND its weight is 0.4.

Specifically, the process of obtaining the second disease feature through the knowledge-enhanced network may refer to the description of step 342 in fig. 6, which is not repeated here.

The embodiment of the application can input the second disease characteristics into the classification layer to predict the disease category of the object. As a specific example, when the first disease feature is a feature of the output layer (before being inactivated), the second disease feature may be input to the activation layer, resulting in a disease type of the subject.

Fig. 9 is a schematic flow chart of a disease prediction model training method 900 according to an embodiment of the present application, where the disease prediction model training method 900 may be performed by any electronic device having data processing capabilities, for example, the electronic device may be implemented as a server or a terminal device, for example, may be implemented as the server 1 or the terminal device 2 in fig. 1, which is not limited in this application.

And then, inputting the distance function and the first disease characteristics into a knowledge enhancement network, and carrying out data enhancement on the characteristics of the dimension corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease characteristics to obtain second disease characteristics.

Specifically, parameters of the neural network model and the knowledge enhancement network can be adjusted according to the predicted disease type and the disease type label until the training stopping condition is met, and the neural network model and the knowledge enhancement network determined by meeting the training stopping condition are output as a trained disease prediction model. That is, the disease prediction model may include a neural network model with parameters adjusted and a knowledge-enhancement network.

For example, the training stop condition may be a preset training stop condition, for example, the maximum training number is reached or the accuracy of the model meets a preset value, which is not limited in this application.

In some embodiments, the matching result and the first disease feature may be obtained by adopting a joint extraction and extraction coding manner to obtain a distance function, and further, according to the distance function, data enhancement is performed on the feature of the dimension corresponding to at least one disease category of the first disease feature, so as to test the effects of different coding methods. Through experiments, the extracted distance function has obvious improvement on the disease prediction result.
