Pattern recognition in SARS cases: insights from t-SNE and k-means clustering applied to COVID-19 symptomatology by Julliana Gonçalves Marques, Bruno Motta de Carvalho, Luiz Affonso Guedes, Márjory Da Costa-Abreu

“…This overlap makes it difficult to identify distinct and meaningful symptom patterns as they develop. This study proposes a dimensionality reduction approach combined with a clustering technique to visually analyse structural similarities among SARS-infected individuals, aiming to determine whether aspects such as case progression and diagnosis impact these patterns.MethodsThis analysis utilised the t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding (t-SNE) algorithm for dimensionality reduction, combined with Gower's distance to handle categorical data, and k-means clustering. …”
