We have identified several general temporal-abstraction mechanisms needed for reasoning about time-stamped data, such as are needed in management of patients being treated on clinical protocols: simple temporal abstraction (a mechanism for abstracting several parameter values into one class), temporal inference (a mechanism for inferring sound logical conclusions over a single interval or two meeting intervals), and temporal interpolation (a mechanism for bridging non-meeting temporal intervals). Making explicit the knowledge required for temporal abstractions supports the acquisition of planning knowledge, the identification of clinical problems, and the formulation of clinical-management-plan revisions.
我们已经确定了几种用于对带时间戳的数据进行推理所需的一般时间抽象机制,例如临床方案治疗患者管理中所需要的机制:简单时间抽象(一种将多个参数值抽象为一个类别的机制)、时间推理(一种在单个时间段或两个相交时间段上推断合理逻辑结论的机制)和时间插值(一种连接不相交时间间隔的机制)。明确时间抽象所需的知识有助于获取规划知识、识别临床问题以及制定临床管理计划修订方案。
