Abstract

Alzheimer’s disease is a major disease that endangers people’s health. Its occurrence and development involve complex biological systems in the human body. Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to comprehensive regulation and control, which is in line with complex biological systems. With thousands of years of history, some classic pharmaceutical formulas and prescriptions have been formed. Through in-depth mining of Chinese medicine data for treating Alzheimer’s disease, we extract the drug attributes of traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating Alzheimer’s disease, and using machine learning methods and deep learning methods to model and analyze the properties of medicines, at the same time mining effective drug attributes. The model can also predict the effectiveness of new Chinese medicine prescriptions for treating Alzheimer’s disease. In this paper, different machine learning algorithms are used to model the drug properties in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions. The highest accuracy of the model can reach more than 62%. The experimental results show that the method proposed has certain research value and prospect in the study of traditional Chinese medicine.
