TCMiner: A High Performance Data Mining System for Multi-dimensional Data Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine Prescriptions

This paper introduces the architecture and algorithms of TCMiner: a high performance data mining system for multi-dimensional data analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine prescriptions. The system has the following competing advantages: (1) High Performance (2) Multi-dimensional Data Analysis Capability (3) High Flexibility (4) Powerful Interoperability (5) Special Optimization for TCM. This data mining system can work as a powerful assistant for TCM experts by conducting Traditional Chinese Medicine Data Mining such as Computer-Aided Medicine Pairing Analysis, Medicine Syndrome Correlation, Quality and Flavor Trend Analysis, and Principal Components Analysis and Prescriptions Reduction etc.
