Abstract

In this study we develop a decision support architecture that evaluates pathology findings for defining levels of chronic hepatitis B, and models patients' clinical stages for assisting treatment decisions. It is a learning system that generates a feedback to pathological diagnostic as well as to the clinical decision making by using reinforcement learning techniques. The system receives reinforcement from the patient as a consequence of undertaken actions during a treatment plan. This received information leads system to learn from experiences such as the patient's response to the treatment and evaluations of related parties (pathologist and clinicians).
