In this study, we sought to minimize the need for redundant blood tests in diagnosing common diseases by leveraging unsupervised data mining techniques on a large-scale dataset of over one million patients' blood test results. We excluded non-numeric and subjective data to ensure precision. To identify relationships between attributes, we applied a suite of unsupervised methods including preprocessing, clustering, and association rule mining. Our approach uncovered correlations that enable healthcare professionals to detect potential acute diseases early, improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. The reliability of our extracted patterns also suggest that this approach can lead to significant time and cost savings while reducing the workload for laboratory personnel. Our study highlights the importance of big data analytics and unsupervised learning techniques in increasing efficiency in healthcare centers.

Hyperspectral sensors provide a large number of spectral bands. This massive and complex data structure of hyperspectral images presents a challenge to traditional data processing techniques. Therefore, reducing the dimensionality of hyperspectral images without losing important information is a very important issue for the remote sensing community. We propose to use overlap-based feature weighting (OFW) for supervised feature extraction of hyperspectral data. In the OFW method, the feature vector of each pixel of hyperspectral image is divided to some segments. The weighted mean of adjacent spectral bands in each segment is calculated as an extracted feature. The less the overlap between classes is, the more the class discrimination ability will be. Therefore, the inverse of overlap between classes in each band (feature) is considered as a weight for that band. The superiority of OFW, in terms of classification accuracy and computation time, over other supervised feature extraction methods is established on three real hyperspectral images in the small sample size situation.
