Abstract

Acupuncture has been recognized by more and more experts as a treatment method to relieve various pains in human body, but the association between specific acupuncture treatments and diseases is still unclear, which affects the long-term development of acupuncture treatment. In this paper, we abstract the knowledge of acupuncture points as ontologies in the knowledge graph, and propose a method to improve the RoBERTa-WWM-BiGRU-CRF model to optimize the knowledge extraction of the knowledge graph by combining the SoftLexicon technique and the adversarial training method. Based on the knowledge graph of acupuncture points, the collaborative filtering model is introduced, and the original similarity matrix construction method is replaced by the co-occurrence matrix construction method based on the association characteristics of acupuncture points and diseases, which improves the operational efficiency of the association search and realizes the design of the association search technology of acupuncture points and diseases. The average consultation time in the acupuncture outpatient departments of the experimental and control groups applying this paper’s technology for acupuncture visits was faster than that of the full outpatient clinic by 0.32 min, showing a significant difference (P<0.05). Patients in the experimental group who received acupuncture treatment assisted by the technology of this paper were higher than those in the control group in the dimensions of acupuncture treatment experience, such as physiological reflections, treatment emotions, and treatment effects and treatment feeling dimensions, which were 2.22, 3.57, 2.2, and 1.33, respectively.
