Problems Identified (5)
TCM efficacy computational representation: The multilevel semantic structure of traditional Chinese medicine formulas makes their efficacies difficult to represent computationally.
TCM efficacy prediction: There is a need to quantitatively predict the dominant efficacies of classical TCM herbal formulas.
TCM efficacy semantic inconsistency: Traditional efficacy descriptions suffer from semantic inconsistency and incompleteness that limit computability.
TCM efficacy computational representation: The multilevel semantic structure of traditional Chinese medicine formulas makes their efficacies difficult to represent computationally.
TCM efficacy prediction: There is a need to quantitatively predict the dominant efficacies of classical TCM herbal formulas.
Proposed Solutions (5)
TCM semantic knowledge graph: The study constructs a knowledge graph over disease, syndrome, symptom, efficacy, and herb entities to standardize and infer multilevel efficacy relationships.
Hypergeometric Efficacy Prediction Model: The study proposes HEPM, which uses hypergeometric enrichment analysis to test whether efficacies are significantly aggregated within a formula.
Curated classical formula validation dataset: The model is validated on a curated dataset of 174 classical formulas from authoritative TCM sources.
