Abstract: In the past two decades, enormous amount of health data has been generated and stored with the wide use of electronic health records in healthcare system. How to extract the relationships between diseases from these data for the accurate diagnosis and prediction of diseases has become a hot issue in both academic and industry. However, many studies only considered several specific diseases instead of revealing relationships among various diseases. Thus, in order to model associations between various diseases, in this paper, a link prediction algorithm based on Node Embedding was put forward to map the disease nodes to a n-dimension space and use neural network to learn node and network features and obtain the vector representation of the nodes used as computing connection probability so as to explode the knowledge of disease relationships. Compared with traditional algorithms of link prediction, our results show that the proposed algorithm can capture the global information of the disease network so as to discover disease associations more precisely and to predict the risk of certain disease in the future more effectively.
