Project objectives
The objective of this project is to use a biclustering approach to combine two different and complementary data sources in order to better characterize endotypes of chronic inflammatory diseases:
• Build a "word embedding" type representation based on BERT modeling (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, Devlin 2018) from textual concepts present in medical letters from a computerized patient records database
• Filter a set of characteristics unrelated to the type of diagnosis that may be found among the interests of patients
• Build clusters by the biclustering method, based on (i) the identified signs, (ii) on the previously constructed embedding and / or (iii) on the variables from a local complete database
• Compare the clusters obtained using these different approaches, in particular with regard to the concordance on the grouping of patients as well as on the clinical relevance of the subgroups identified.
Do not hesitate to contact us to have more details.
A complete description of the projet can be sent if required.
Sincerely,
