A Prototype Agent Based Model and Machine Learning Hybrid System for Healthcare Decision Support

Author(s):  
Marek Laskowski

Science is on the verge of practical agent based modeling decision support systems capable of machine learning for healthcare policy decision support. The details of integrating an agent based model of a hospital emergency department with a genetic programming machine learning system are presented in this paper. A novel GP heuristic or extension is introduced to better represent the Markov Decision Process that underlies agent decision making in an unknown environment. The capabilities of the resulting prototype for automated hypothesis generation within the context of healthcare policy decision support are demonstrated by automatically generating patient flow and infection spread prevention policies. Finally, some observations are made regarding moving forward from the prototype stage.

This paper presents a method using neural networks and Markov Decision Process (MDP) to identify the source and class of video streaming services. The paper presents the design and implementation of an end-to-end pipeline for training and classifying a machine learning system that can take in packets collected over a network interface and classify the data stream as belonging to one of five streaming video services: You Tube, You Tube TV, Netflix, Amazon Prime, or HBO

This research work presents analysis of Modified Sarsa learning algorithm. Modified Sarsa algorithm.  State-Action-Reward-State-Action (SARSA) is an technique for learning a Markov decision process (MDP) strategy, used in for reinforcement learning int the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). The Modified SARSA Algorithm makes better actions to get better rewards.  Experiment are conducted to evaluate the performace for each agent individually. For result comparison among different agent, the same statistics were collected. This work considered varied kind of agents in different level of architecture for experiment analysis. The Fungus world testbed has been considered for experiment which is has been implemented using SwI-Prolog 5.4.6. The fixed obstructs tend to be more versatile, to make a location that is specific to Fungus world testbed environment. The various parameters are introduced in an environment to test a agent’s performance. This modified   SARSA learning algorithm can   be more suitable in EMCAP architecture.  The experiments are conducted the modified   SARSA Learning system gets   more rewards compare to existing  SARSA algorithm.


In chapter 7, we examined some selected case study applications of some decision support systems. Those considered were the matrix-based used in determining labour cost, sub-chaining method, linear regression, optimization (i.e. minimization) technique and Markov decision process. As earlier discussed, our focus will be on rule-based decision support systems. This is because rule-based systems are more encompassing and can easily be employed to deal with complex decision about construction activities. Hence in this chapter, an overview of rule-based decision system will be examined.


Having examined the modelling principles of underpinning based decision support systems applied to construction in Chapter 6, this chapter will now demonstrate their detail applications in construction practice. Specifically, 7 decision-support systems will be examined. The choices are based on the fact that data for use in the decision support models are available. The decision-support systems considered are the matrix-based used in determining labor cost, sub-chaining method, linear regression, optimization (i.e. minimization) technique, Markov decision process and rule-based systems.
