Abstract
The goal of this research is the discovery of useful concepts in temporal medical databases. Building on previous experiments, we introduce TEMPADIS, the Temporal Pattern Discovery System, which uses an Event Set Sequence approach to discover sequential patterns in medical data. We discuss problems unique to mining medical databases and introduce techniques to overcome some of these problems. Verification results are presented based on a database of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) patients monitored over four years.
