Causal Representation of Patient Illness for Electrolyte and Acid-base Diagnosis
Author(s)
Patil, Ramesh S.Abstract
Much of the medical knowledge in the first generation Al in Medicine programs is phenomenological; that is, it describes the associations among phenomena without knowledge of the underlying causal mechanisms. Although these AIM programs provide a good first approximation to the way clinicians reason, they fail to produce clinicians reasoning based on a deaper understanding of the phenomens.
