Machine learning based generation of ontology for structural and functional mapping

A system, comprising:

• at least one data processor;
• and
• at least one memory storing instructions, which when executed by the at least one data processor, result in operations comprising:
• applying, to a corpus of data, a first machine learning technique to identify one or more candidate domains of an ontology mapping brain structure to mental function, the corpus of data including textual data describing a plurality of mental functions and spatial data corresponding to a plurality of brain structures, and the ontology including a plurality of domains each of which (1) corresponding to a neural circuiting including one or more brain structures and including (2) one or more mental function terms associated with the one or more brain structures;
• applying a second machine technique to optimize a quantity of domains included in the ontology and/or a quantity of mental function terms included in each of the plurality of domains;
• and
• applying the ontology to process an electronic medical record.
