This project aims to construct a knowledge graph system applied to the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) by extracting entities (such as drugs, diseases, etc.) and their relationships from TCM medical case data and storing them in a Neo4j database. The project process includes data reading, entity recognition and extraction, data formatting, and data import into the database. The project not only improved the individual's proficiency in Python data processing techniques (including regular expressions and JSON parsing) but also enhanced their skills in knowledge graph construction and database operations. In the future, there is a desire to further improve technical capabilities, explore more cutting-edge technologies in the TCM field, and promote project progress through collaboration, contributing to the modernization of TCM and intelligent healthcare services.
