The work proposes an intelligent reinforcement learning–driven recommender framework that maps and recommends research items—papers and clinical trials—tailored to multiple sclerosis. Multiple machine learning algorithms are tested and evaluated to identify the most promising approach for building an effective model that surfaces relevant MS research and accelerates discovery.","[Available online at www.sciencedirect.com](Available online at www.sciencedirect.com)  \nScienceDirect  \nProcedia Computer Science 219 (2023) 1193–1199  \nCENTERIS – International Conference on ENTERprise Information Systems / ProjMAN – International Conference on Project MANagement / HCist – International Conference on Health and Social Care Information Systems and Technologies 2022  \nA machine learning approach for mapping and accelerating multiple  \nsclerosis research  \nAntónio Lopesa*, Bruno Amaralb  \naIscte – Instituto Universitário de Lisboa, Lisboa, Portugal  \nbLisbon Collective, Lisboa, Portugal  \nAbstract  \nThe medical field, as many others, is overwhelmed with the amount of research-related information available, such as journal papers, conference proceedings and clinical trials. The task of parsing through all this information to keep up to date with the most recent research findings on their area of expertise is especially difficult for practitioners who must also focus on their clinical duties. Recommender systems can help make decisions and provide relevant information on specific matters, such as for these clinical practitioners looking into which research to prioritize. In this paper, we describe the early work on a machine learning approach, which through an intelligent reinforcement learning approach, maps and recommends research information (papers and clinical trials) specifically for multiple sclerosis research. We tested and evaluated several different machine learning algorithms and present which one is the most promising in developing a complete and efficient model for recommending relevant multiple sclerosis research.  \n© 2023 The Authors.

Introduction  \nThe amount of research in the health sciences is staggering and overwhelming for researchers trying to keep up with the most recent and relevant papers and studies for their respective areas. As depicted in Fig. 1, the number of indexed papers in Scopus for the research areas of medicine, neuroscience and pharmacology alone are now surpassing the 1 million mark per year. The uptick in 2020 and 2021 can be naturally explained by the important reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the trend before that period was already indicative of the overwhelming amount of research done in these areas.  \nFig. 1.
