Detection and explanation of anomalies in healthcare data

Abstract

The growth of databases in the healthcare domain opens multiple doors for machine learning and artificial intelligence technology. Many medical devices are available in the medical field; however, medical errors remain a severe challenge. Different algorithms are developed to identify and solve medical errors, such as detecting anomalous readings, anomalous health conditions of a patient, etc. However, they fail to answer why those entries are considered an anomaly. This research gap leads to an outlying aspect mining problem.
