Survey on Recommender Systems for Biomedical Items in Life and Health Sciences Matilde Pato, Márcia Barros, Francisco M. Couto ACM Computing Surveys, 2024 The generation of biomedical data is of such magnitude that its retrieval and analysis have posed several challenges. A survey of recommender system (RS) approaches in biomedical fields is provided in this analysis, along with a discussion of existing challenges related to large-scale biomedical information retrieval systems. We collect original studies, identify entities and models, and discuss how knowledge graphs (KGs) can improve results. As a result, most of the papers used model-based collaborative filtering algorithms, most of the available datasets did not follow the standard format < user, item, rating >, and regarding qualitative evaluations of RSs use mainly classification metrics. Finally, we have assembled and coded a unique dataset of 60 papers — Sur-RS4BioT, available for download at DOI:10.34740/kaggle/ds/2346894
Enhancing Drug Reviews Insights through Exploratory Data Analysis and Sentiment Analysis Ana Sofia Pinto, Matilde Pato, Nuno Datia Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Visualisation, 2024 The increasing volume of user-generated content across various online platforms has created vast datasets in multiple domains, including healthcare. This article explores the significant roles of data visualisation and sentiment analysis within the healthcare sector using the UCI ML Drug Review dataset. Our study highlights the value of exploratory data analysis and sentiment analysis in comprehending patient feedback, enriching insights from the dataset. Data visualisation effectively elucidates the data's distribution and key characteristics, while sentiment analysis, performed using TextBlob and VADER, categorises the emotional tone of patient reviews. Our methodology aims to provide a deeper understanding of patient satisfaction and medication efficacy based on user-generated content.
Explainable Feature Ranking Using Interactive Dashboards Diogo Amorim, Matilde Pato, Nuno Datia Proceedings of the International Conference on Information Visualisation, 2024 In the dynamic realm of machine learning, achieving transparency and understandability is crucial for fostering trust and facilitating broader adoption. This study presents an enhanced version of the Ensemble Feature Ranking algorithm, tailored to optimize feature selection in machine learning models. This paper proposes the use of an interactive dashboard application, as part of learning environment, designed to provide users with a visually intuitive platform for exploring the algorithm's internal metrics and rankings. The dashboard facilitates a deeper understanding of feature importance and algorithm behaviour, bridging the gap between complex algorithms and user comprehension. By combining advanced algorithmic techniques with a user-centric interface, our approach promotes transparency, accountability and increased user engagement in the explanation of machine learning models.
