RESEARCH PROJECTS:

▪ PedSTAT – Statistics in Pediatric Cardiology (in progress)

In the field of pediatric cardiology, very few attempts have been made analyzing correlated parameters to sketch various growth charts. We are developing high end statistical analysis tool to allow doctors at Children’s Mercy Hospital to analyze various trends and carry out interesting research studies. The tool is planned to integrate several data sources from Heartlab® and Meditech® system with superior statistical algorithms from SPSS® and R Framework.

▪ OntoDoc -Get a Pleasant Surprise! (Jun-Dec 2003)

A Collaborative Semantic Web portal for Researchers in Life Sciences. Blending principles of Social Networks, Semantic Web and Ontologies, the portal allows researchers working in different aspects of Life Sciences to discover and collaborative their work. Using Text Mining and Ontology based Reasoning, the portal suggests new and interesting connections among people. The eventual aim of the portal is to reduce the information burden, accelerate the speed of research and open up new avenues for interesting research collaborations. Prototype is available at

▪ OntoMedArchitect – The Medical Knowledge Engineer (Jul-Aug 2003)

Formalizing Knowledge has been one of the greatest endeavors in science and philosophy. Hence, in Medical domain several Ontologies and Vocabularies (UMLS, Gene Ontology, NCI Thesaurus, MeSH, SNOMED etc) have been developed. However, knowledge representations for specialized sub-domain still remains a challenge. OntoMedArchitect tool semi-automatically architects an Ontology for given sub-domain based on Information Extraction in PubMed and mapping of MeSH concepts to existing Ontologies. The final result is an Ontology which commits to specialized domain with concepts extracted from other ontologies (currently from UMLS, GO and NCI).

▪ Pharmacy-MetaMining - probability(Breast Cancer, HRT) (Jun-Aug 2003)

Data has paramount importance in Pharmaceutical sciences, even more important is the means used to analyze these data. Several studies have been published characterizing number of parameters affecting chances of acquiring Breast Cancer with Hormone Replacement therapy (HRT). We have developed specialized Data Mining Algorithm – MetaMining, modified C4.5, which considers semantic discrepancies in data sources, number of subjects and their results to discover the highly probable causes for the disease. We tested the algorithm on data collected from 27 different publications over last decade. A generic intuitive tool has been developed to allow researchers in School of Pharmacy at University of Missouri to carry out similar analysis for other diseases/problems using MetaMining Algorithm.

▪ BEE-SMART – A Natural Language Interface to Semantic Web (Jan-Apr 2003, Class Project)

With advent of smart technologies for Web: Semantic Web and Web services, it is now possible to allow machines to interpret information and execute services on behalf of people. To deliver and realize the power of these technologies for a common user over Web, we developed an intuitive Natural Language Interface to Semantic Web. We implemented a Knowledge Mediator for BEE-SMART that employs WordNet based Information Extraction on Web documents to populate the Knowledge Base. I Leaded the Knowledge Mediator team in the project. The system can be accessed through

▪ ADEDT - Association Based Distributed Medical Error Detection and Tracking tool (Aug-Dec 2002)

Medical Errors account for a large number of deaths every year. By logging several events that occur in a general Hospital Environment, we can discover interesting hidden patterns over a period of time responsible for severe errors. Using intelligent Data Mining Algorithm (Association Mining), the tool facilitates detection and prevention of many such errors. The tool has been deployed at Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas City.

▪ HLM – HL7 Message Listener (Aug 2002 - May 2003)

In a multi-organizational Hospital Information Systems (Saint Lukes, Kansas City), it is important to formally define processes to allow dynamic and efficient workflow management. We implemented an HL7 based Message Listener which acts as organizational interface to receive HL7 ADT messages. The broader goal was to fabricate an entire workflow system which smoothens various procedures in the environment. I developed module to convert HL7v2.x messages to XML based HL7v3 message. The system is currently deployed at Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City, processing nearly 80000 ADT messages per day.
