Abstract
En 中文
A new domain-independent knowledge-based inference structure is presented, specific to the task of abstracting higher-level concepts from time-stamped data. The framework includes a model of time, parameters, events, and contexts. A formal specification of a domain's temporal abstraction knowledge supports acquisition, maintenance, reuse, and sharing of that knowledge. The knowledge-based temporal abstraction method decomposes the temporal abstraction task into five subtasks. These subtasks are solved by five domain-independent temporal abstraction mechanisms. The temporal abstraction mechanisms depend on four domain-specific knowledge types: structural, classification (functional), temporal semantic (logical), and temporal dynamic (probabilistic) knowledge. Domain values for all knowledge types are specified when a temporal abstraction system is developed, The knowledge-based temporal abstraction method has been implemented in the RESUME system, and has been evaluated in several clinical domains (protocol-based care, monitoring of children's growth, and therapy of diabetes) and in an engineering domain (monitoring of traffic control), with encouraging results.
