Abstract

Self-diagnose becomes an important research topic and hot web application. It relies on patients' own description about their conditions. Finding relationship between patients' complain and the possible diseases is the key. This paper reports our efforts on applying machine learning models to solve this problem. We firstly collected and build a dataset including 10,000 chief complaints from authoritative medical websites including haodf.com, and yyk.99.com and top Chinese hospitals. We then trained Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Bidirectional Long and Short-term Memory (BiLSTM) models using our collected dataset to verify our dataset and to test prediction models. The test shows the models trained with sample datasets have a stable performance with 75% in accuracy, 81% in precision and recall being 81%.
