Abstract

In this paper, we present two approaches to generate prognosis from general blood test results. The first approach is a knowledge-based approach using ripple-down rules (RDR). The knowledge-based approach with RDR converts knowledge of pathologists into a knowledge base with the minimum intervention of knowledge engineers. The second approach is a machine-learning(ML)-based approach using decision tree, random forest and deep neural network (DNN). The ML-based approach learns patterns of attributes from various cases of general blood test. Our experimental results show that there are indeed some important patterns of the attributes in general blood test results, and they are adequately encoded by the both approaches.
