Wow, that's interesting. What is the name of the software?
There is no name for it, it is a methodology of combining several techniques that i came up with.
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!
Created in 2008, Phoenix Rising is the largest and oldest forum dedicated to furthering the understanding of, and finding treatments for, complex chronic illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia, long COVID, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), and allied diseases.

@mariovitali
Are you looking at just the abstracts ?
Also what is the result of this hypothesis? Are you finding correlation ? And if yes how does that prove causation ? I mean just because you dumped a large corpus of text into an NLP algorithm and found some co-occurence it doesnt mean you found anything of value .
I'm sure I will find a lot of co-occurence between the terms "Micheal Jackson" and "propofol", but that doesn't mean propofol causes Micheal Jackson*.
* He died as a result of a propofol overdose

Good question.
Your way of thinking makes sense but it’s a bit simplistic. There are already companies doing this and in a nutshell , we are finding both known and unknown relationships between Medical topics of interest.
Unfortunately I cannot go into the details but so far , this technology was able to identify key aspects of ME/CFS (Pyruvate Dehydrogenase, Bile Acid metabolism, Fatty Acid metabolism, possible Liver issues) before any other Researcher.
Given my complete lack of knowledge in Medical Science I would say that these are quite interesting events that deserve further evaluation.
The software looks at the abstracts only.

I just completed another round of analysis using Machine Learning. Lactate was not part of the Medical topics being looked at and so i added it to the software to see its relevance to ME/CFS.
In previous runs, Liver Disease was the most relevant topic, followed by Sepsis and Norepinephrine. To my amazement, Lactate has risen to the top-5 positions. Here is a snapshot from the run :

Note that -by far-, the most relevant topic is Liver Disease.
A second type of analysis, tries to identify associations between Medical Topics. I therefore added Lactate to see what the software would come up with. In other words the question here is "which potentially relevant Medical Topics to ME/CFS are associated with Lactate ?" Here is the snapshot :

PDHC is Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex. NDUFS7 has been discussed in Phoenix Rising as well , where a user talks about elevated Lactate levels :

Getting off topic since this is a five year old thread about the use of a patent applied oxalate mixture for ME/CFS treatment.Norepinephrine is a surprise!
