Abstract [en]

This paper proposes an approach to leverage upon existing ontologies in order to automate the annotation of time series medical data. The annotation is achieved by an abductive reasoner using parsimonious covering theorem in order to determine the best explanation or annotation for specific user defined events in the data. The novelty of this approach resides in part by the system’s flexibility in how events are defined by users and later detected by the system. This is achieved via the use of different ontologies which find relations between medical, lexical and numerical concepts. A second contribution resides in the application of an abductive reasoner which uses the online and existing ontologies to provide annotations. The proposed method is evaluated on datasets collected from ICU patients and the generated annotations are compared against those given by medical experts.
