Symptom Extraction of Internal Medicine Diseases of Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on BERT-BiLSTM-CRF Model

This study focuses on the reasoning of symptoms of TCM internal diseases. Taking cough as an example, the BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model is used for entity recognition. Experiments show that the model has the best entity recognition effect on three types of texts, including teaching cases, clinical cases and literature data, and the F1 value is up to 0.967. It can effectively identify symptoms, course of disease, tongue condition and pulse condition in TCM diagnosis and treatment texts, which lays a solid foundation for intelligent assisted syndrome differentiation and treatment of TCM. By constructing four types of entity corpora and using three mainstream entity recognition models for experiments, it is found that the BERT-BiLSTM-CRF model has a good entity recognition effect in three types of data: teaching cases, clinical cases and literature data. Experimental results show that the F1 values of the BERT-bilSTM-CRF model in teaching cases, clinical cases and literature data are 0.967, 0.82 and 0.91, respectively, which provides an effective method for information extraction in the field of TCM syndrome differentiation diagnosis and treatment, and lays a foundation for further research on knowledge reasoning.
