Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Coordination and negotiation among agents are necessary when multiple agents are motivated to make a diagnosis for a patient together. In this paper a model of a multi-agent diagnosis helping system (MADHS) is given, where several knowledge-based systems are considered as cooperative agents in medical diagnoses. Fuzziness and uncertainty have been incorporated into decision trees to form the reasoning mechanism of agents. A novel coordination mechanism is then described, which is able to reach the final diagnosis compatible with both patient's anamnesis and existing medical principles. The model and reasoning mechanisms are implemented using Java, Java agent development framework (JADE), Java expert system shell (JESS) and NRC FuzzyJ Toolkit, and is tested by both traditional Chinese and western medical diagnosis examples. It is anticipated that the proposed system and technologies will be widely used in applicative areas, such as multi-agent medical diagnosis, medical helping, and other automatic diagnosis and decision making systems.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
