Applied Research on the Combination of Weighted Network and Supervised Learning in Acupoints Compatibility.

To enhance the depth of excavation and promote the intelligence of acupoint compatibility, a method of constructing weighted network, which combines the attributes of acupoints and supervised learning, is proposed for link prediction. Medical cases of cervical spondylosis with acupuncture treatment are standardized, and a weighted network is constructed according to acupoint attributes. Multiple similarity features are extracted from the network and input into a supervised learning model for prediction. And, the performance of the algorithm is evaluated through evaluation indicators. The experiment finally screened 67 eligible medical cases, and the network model involved 141 acupoint nodes with 1048 edge. Except for the Preferential Attachment similarity index and the Decision Tree model, all other similarity indexes performed well in the model, among which the combination of PI index and Multilayer Perception model had the best prediction effect with an AUC value of 0.9351, confirming the feasibility of weighted networks combined with supervised learning for link prediction, also as a strong support for clinical point selection.
