Abstract(in English) After thousands of years of development, a large number of clinical experiences of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment in traditional Chinese medicine have been recorded in the form of text. Artificial intelligence represented by machine learning can enable computers to learn rules from a large number of existing data through algorithms, train appropriate mathematical models, and use the trained models to analyze and predict the data. This paper aims to train an appropriate model by learning the text data of acupuncture and moxibustion treatment through machine learning algorithms, so as to develop an intelligent system that can master the rules of acupoints and provide more convenient and accurate acupoints prescriptions for treating patients. Specifically, in this paper we build a database of symptoms and acupoints prescriptions, and applying several algorithms to learn the data in the database to train the related mathematical models. As the result of computational experiments, one of the algorithms, Seq2seq with attention, is most effective to provide acupoints prescriptions.
