Data-Driven Rule Mining and Representation of Temporal Patterns in Physiological Sensor Data.
Mining and representation of qualitative patterns is a growing field in sensor data analytics. This paper leverages from rule mining techniques to extract and represent temporal relation of prototypical patterns in clinical data streams. The approach is fully data-driven, where the temporal rules are mined from physiological time series such as heart rate, respiration rate, and blood pressure. To validate the rules, a novel similarity method is introduced, that compares the similarity between rule sets. An additional aspect of the proposed approach has been to utilize natural language generation techniques to represent the temporal relations between patterns. In this study, the sensor data in the MIMIC online database was used for evaluation, in which the mined temporal rules as they relate to various clinical conditions (respiratory failure, angina, sepsis, …) were made explicit as a textual representation. Furthermore, it was shown that the extracted rule set for any particular clinical condition was distinct from other clinical conditions.
