Interaction pattern and motif mining method for doctor-patient multi-modal dialog analysis

Published:06 November 2009Publication History

ABSTRACT

We propose a bottom-up analysis method of multi-modal dialogue interaction with a pattern and motif mining method to summarize such interviews as between doctors and patients for medical diagnosis. Our aim is to generate a hierarchical model of the interviewing behavior of such kinds as interaction corpora, consisting of primitive, pattern, motif, and pattern clusters from the given dialogue session data. We exploit a Jensen-Shannon Divergence measure to extract important patterns and motifs. Medical interview is chosen as an important application of such analysis because a doctor's multi-modal interviewing technique is essential to establish a reliable relationship and to conclude with a successful diagnosis.

An interaction corpus of example simulated medical interviews is constructed by the proposed method. The interviews are captured by a video camera and microphones. Based on the constructed indices in terms of given pattern notations and clusters, the interviews were summarized. Performance evaluation of the indices by a medical doctor was performed to confirm their plausibility and summary descriptions of the results.
