1) The document discusses using an unsupervised machine learning technique called Word2Vec, normally used in natural language processing, to analyze structured medical data.
2) Word2Vec learns vector representations of words based on their co-occurrence with other words. The author proposes treating medical concepts like vitals, labs, diagnoses from patient encounters as "words" to learn their relationships.
3) A demo is shown applying Word2Vec to a dataset of 197,340 clinical records from 10,000 patients to explore connections between medical concepts.
