The work of Chinese medicine is subject to the two factors of the inheritance and development of clinical experience of famous Chinese medicine practitioners and the difficulty in improving the service capacity of basic Chinese medicine practitioners. Heterogeneous information networks (HINs) are a kind of graphical model for integrating and modeling real-world information. Through HINs, we can integrate and model the large-scale heterogeneous TCM data into structured graph data and use this as a basis for analysis.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Mining categorizations from TCM data is an important task for precision medicine. In this paper, we propose a novel structured learning model to solve the problem of formula regularity, a pivotal task in prescription optimization. We integrate clustering with ranking in a heterogeneous information network.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The results from experiments on the Pharmacopoeia of the People\u2019s Republic of China (ChP) demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed model for discovering useful categorizations of formulas.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>We use heterogeneous information networks to model TCM data and propose a TCM-HIN. Combining the heterogeneous graph with the probability graph, we proposed the TCM-Clus algorithm, which combines clustering with ranking and classifies traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The results of the categorizations can help Chinese medicine practitioners to make clinical decision.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12911-019-0963-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,19]],"date-time":"2019-12-19T09:04:20Z","timestamp":1576746260000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Heterogeneous information network based clustering for precision traditional Chinese medicine"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Xintian","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Chunyang","family":"Ruan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Yanchun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Huijuan","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"24","key":"963_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2952","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jacc.2017.04.041","volume":"69","author":"P Hao","year":"2017","unstructured":"Hao P, Fan J, Jing C, Ma L, Yun Z, Zhao Y.
