An Intelligent Literature Review: an Inductive Approach to define Machine Learning Applications in the clinical domain
Abstract Big data analytics utilizes different analytics techniques to transform large volume and diversified big dataset. The analytics uses various computational methods such as different Machine Learning (ML) in convert raw data to valuable insights. The ML assist individuals to perform work activities quicker and better, and empower decision-makers in system use. Since academics and industry practitioners have growing interests on ML, how different applications of ML in specific problem domains have been explored, but not in a holistic manner from the past literature. This paper aims to promote the utilization of intelligent literature review for researchers by introducing a step-by-step framework on a case providing the code template. We offer an intelligent literature review to obtain in-depth analytical insight of ML applications in the clinical domain to: a) develop the intelligent literature framework using traditional literature and Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic modeling, b) analyze research documents using traditional systematic literature review revealing ML applications, and c) identify topics from documents using LDA topic modeling. We used a PRISMA framework for the traditional literature review, reviewed four databases (e.g. IEEE, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar), which are published between 2016 and 2021 (September). The framework comprises two stages – Traditional systematic literature review and LDA topic modeling. The intelligent literature review framework reviewed 305 research documents in a transparent, reliable, and faster way.
