Abstract We will develop a novel approach to drug repurposing, utilising Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Literature Based Discovery (LBD) techniques. This present simplified, accessible repurposing pipeline using Word2Vec embeddings trained on PubMed abstracts identify potential new medications be repurposed. this in the context of antipsychotics, but it could repeated for any available medication. The research is structured three stages: Identification candidate algorithm scientific literature. Empirical testing identified candidates large hospital dataset explore protective effects against disease onset. Validation findings second, independent assess generalizability. method addresses limitations current machine learning-based approaches, including lack external validation limited accessibility. By leveraging Word2Vec’s ability capture semantic relationships between words, study aims uncover hidden connections medical literature that may lead therapeutic discoveries. protocol emphasizes transparency reproducibility, utilizing publicly electronic health record (EHR) databases validation. allows tangible results even researchers with learning expertise, bridging gap biomedical information systems communities.
