Machine Learning Approach for Cancer Entities Association and Classification

As numerous biomedical research articles are published regularly, adding knowledge to the accumulated literature on different diseases, such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and hereditary diseases. One of the leading causes of global mortality disease is cancer due to various reasons such as lifestyle habits, radiation exposure, viral infections, and tobacco consumption [1] [2]. These reasons ultimately make some genetic change in a cell of tissue which causes it to become cancerous. Due to the top priority given to cancer research compared to other human diseases, enormous articles were published [3] [4] in a short period [5]. It can serve as a relevant source for cancer knowledge discovery in different fields of diagnostics, application of drugs, genetic association, prevention, and treatment. An automate downloading of articles and extraction of related entities will advance the progression of the research faster. Natural Language Processing (NLP) helps in communicating computers with humans in their language and converts the unstructured data into structured data to improve the accuracy of text mining. NLP function guides to understanding the human query language to discover knowledge from literature without much manual effort [6]. Named Entity Recognition (NER) and text classification is used mainly for text mining [7].
