Abstract

The recommendation task, intended as the task of supporting physicians in their activity (and, in particular, in decision making) by providing them indications of the most appropriate way of treating patients, has a long story in Medical Informatics that dates back, for instance, to the first medical expert systems (MYCIN [19]).
