Surgical Process Mining with Test and Flip Net Synthesis
Participant : Benoît Caillaud.
Surgical process modeling aims at providing an explicit representation of surgical procedural knowledge. Surgical process models are inferred from a set of surgical procedure recordings, and represent in a concise manner concurrency, causality and conflict relations between actions. In the context of the S3PM project (Section 8.1 ), we have investigated the use of test and flip nets, a mild extension of flip-flop nets, to represent surgical process models. A test and flip net synthesis algorithm, based on linear algebraic methods in the ring is detailed. Experimental results regarding the use of this synthesis algorithm to automate the construction of simple surgical process models are also presented.
