This paper is about the application of known machine learning (ML) techniques for the prediction of heart disease risk. A public database is used to train and test the ML models. Results are evaluated using standard measures like precision, recall and F-score. ML models selected are well known techniques and they are based on different approaches. Chosen methods are: MLP (Multi-Layer Perceptron), SVM (Support Vector Machine) and Bagged Tree (Bootstrap Aggregated Trees). After evaluating techniques alone on their own, a new "triple voting method" (TVM) is tested applying the three individual methods and "adding" their results to improve accuracy.

Matching journals

The top 6 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

50% of probability mass above

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
