From Tinnitus Data to Action Rules and Tinnitus Treatment

Medical records contain feature values on specific dates, which brings very unstable sampling rate. Therefore popular temporal features, which have been successfully applied to sound data, failed to fully describe the vita behaviors of features and factors of patient and treatment. The authors developed a flexible temporal feature retrieval system based on grouping of similar visiting patterns with connection to an action-rules engine and observed interesting and useful results about how the changes of treatment factors affects the changes of recover.
