Abstract
This work presents a data-driven method for identifying the potential core acupoint combination in COVID-19 treatment through mining the association rules from the retrieved scientific literature and guidelines for prevention and treatment of COVID-19 published all over China. It is based on the representation of the acupoint data in a binary form, the use of a novel association rule mining algorithm properly tailored for discovering the relationship of acupoint groups among combinations of different descriptions. The proposed method is applied to the real database of acupoint descriptions collected from published literature and guidelines. The obtained results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
