Learning cost-sensitive diagnostic policies from data

Creator:: Zubek, Valentina Bayer
Abstract:: In its simplest form, the process of diagnosis is a decision-making process in which the diagnostician performs a sequence of tests culminating in a diagnostic decision. For example, a physician might perform a series of simple measurements (body tem- perature, weight, etc.) and laboratory measurements (white blood count, CT scan,...

Complex patterns in gender HCI : a data mining study of factors leading to end-user debugging success for females and males

Creator:: Grigoreanu, Valentina I.
Abstract:: Most of the work so far in the subfield of Gender HCI has followed a theory-driven approach. Established theories, however, do not take into account specific issues that arise in end-user debugging. We suspected that there may be important information that we were overlooking. We therefore employed a methodology change:...

Abstract:: End users' programs are fraught with errors, costing companies millions of dollars. One reason may be that researchers and tool designers have not yet focused on end-user debugging strategies. To investigate this possibility, this dissertation presents eight empirical studies and a new strategy-based end-user debugging tool for Excel, called StratCel....

Design implications for end-user debugging tools : a strategy-based view

Creator:: Grigoreanu, Valentina I., Burnett, Margaret, and Robertson, George
Abstract:: End-user programmers’ code (e.g., accountants’ spreadsheet formulas) is fraught with errors. To help mitigate this problem, end-user software engineering research is becoming established. However, most of this work has focused on feature usage, rather than debugging strategies. If a debugging tool were to support end-user programmers’ specific debugging strategy needs,...

Abstract:: End-user programmers’ code is notoriously buggy. This problem is amplified by the increasing complexity of end users’ programs. To help end users catch errors early and reliably, we employ a novel approach for the design of end-user debugging tools: a focus on supporting end users’ effective debugging strategies.

Abstract:: A diagnostic policy species what test to perform next based on the results of previous tests and when to stop and make a diagnosis. Cost-sensitive diagnostic policies perform tradeoffs between (a) the costs of tests and (b) the costs of misdiagnoses. An optimal diagnostic policy minimizes the expected total cost....

Abstract:: This paper studies the problem of learning diagnostic policies from training examples. A diagnostic policy is a complete description of the decision-making actions of a diagnostician (i.e., tests followed by a diagnostic decision) for all possible combinations of test results. An optimal diagnostic policy is one that minimizes the expected...

Abstract:: This paper introduces the even-odd POMDP, an approximation to POMDPs in which the world is assumed to be fully observable every other time step. The even-odd POMDP can be converted into an equivalent MDP, the 2MDP, whose value function, V*[subscript 2MDP], can be combined online with a 2-step lookahead search...
