Abstract
We present an automated disease term classification model using machine learning techniques that classifies a medical term to a specific disease class. We work on five particular diseases: Cancer, AIDS, Arthritis, Diabetes and heart related ailments. We identify and classify medical terms like drug names, symptoms, abbreviations, disease names, tests, etc., into their specific diseases classes. The results illustrate that our model for disease term classification finds all disease term classes with an average F-score of 0.966.
