1. Darcy A. Davis. Network-Centric Data Mining for Medical Applications</h1>.

Degree: Computer Science and Engineering, 2012, University of Notre Dame

URL: https://curate.nd.edu/show/df65v694x9x 

Faced with unsustainable costs and enormous amounts of under-utilized data, health care needs more efficient practices, research, and tools to harness the benefits of data. These methods create a feedback loop where computational tools guide and facilitate research, leading to improved biological knowledge and clinical standards, which will in turn generate better data. In order to facilitate the necessary changes, better tools are needed for assessing risk and optimizing treatments, which further require better understanding of disease interdependencies, genetic influence, and translation into a patient’s future. This dissertation explores network-centric data mining approaches for benefit in multiple stages of this feedback loop: from better understanding of disease mechanisms to development of novel clinical tools for personalized and prospective medicine. Applications include predicting personalized patient disease risk based on medical history, optimizing NICU nursing schedules to reduce negative effects, and predicting novel disease-gene interactions. Advisors/Committee Members: Zoltan Toroczkai, Committee Member, Nitesh V. Chawla, Committee Member, Predrag Radivojac, Committee Member, Scott Emrich, Committee Member.

Subjects/Keywords: bioinformatics; disease gene candidate detection; personalized medicine; clinical informatics; network science; translational biology; data mining; heterogeneous networks; link prediction

2. Ryan Nicholas Lichtenwalter. Beyond Static Data: Tackling Class Imbalance and Concept Drift in Data Streams, Link Persistence and Prediction in Dynamic Networks, and Autonomous Composition in Computer Music</h1>.

Degree: Computer Science and Engineering, 2009, University of Notre Dame

URL: https://curate.nd.edu/show/ws859c70f89 

This thesis tackles the fundamental issues of streaming data in different challenging scenarios. First, the confounding problem of class imbalance and concept drift is considered, and a novel and competitive classification framework is proposed to address this challenge. The proposed methodology outperforms the contemporary methods on a number of different datasets. Second, the thesis looks at the problem of dynamic networks, specifically the challenges of link persistence and link prediction. This is the first work to formally cast the problem of link prediction as a class imbalance problem, and it greatly outperforms a number of contemporary and popular methods. The third form of streaming data is in the domain of music. Bach chorales are first uniquely transformed into a feature vector space, and then a sliding window approach is used to generate classifiers for subsequent autonomous music composition. Advisors/Committee Members: W. Philip Kegelmeyer, Committee Member, Patrick J. Flynn, Committee Member, Nitesh V. Chawla, Committee Member.

Subjects/Keywords: stream mining; class imbalance; link prediction; link persistence; data streams; ensembles; schenkerian analysis; concept drift; classification; autonomous composition; social networks; computer music

3. Darcy A Davis. Predicting Individual Disease Risk Based on Medical History</h1>.

Degree: Computer Science and Engineering, 2008, University of Notre Dame

URL: https://curate.nd.edu/show/pg15bc40k5d 

The monumental cost of health care, especially for chronic disease treatment, is quickly becoming unmanageable. This crisis has motivated the drive towards preventative medicine, where the primary concern is recognizing disease risk and taking action at the earliest signs. However, universal testing is neither time nor cost efficient. We propose CARE, a Collaborative Assessment and Recommendation Engine, which relies only on a patient’s medical history using ICD-9-CM codes in order to predict future diseases risks. CARE combines collaborative filtering methods with clustering to predict each patient’s greatest disease risks based on their own medical history and that of similar patients. We also describe an Iterative version, ICARE, which incorporates ensemble concepts for improved performance. These novel systems require no specialized information and provide predictions for medical conditions of all kinds in a single run. We present experimental results on a large Medicare dataset, demonstrating that CARE and ICARE perform well at capturing future disease risks. Advisors/Committee Members: Patrick J. Flynn, Committee Member, Kevin W. Bowyer, Committee Member, Nitesh V. Chawla, Committee Member.

Subjects/Keywords: collaborative filtering; disease prediction
