Ontology Alignment for Classification of Low Level Sensor Data

Abstract

In this work we show how alignment techniques can be used to align an ontology to a decision tree representing the features used in classification of sensor signals. The sensor data represents time-series data from an electronic nose when measuring bacteria in blood samples. The objective is to provide from the classification of these signals an estimate of the type of bacteria present in the sample. As these classification are inherently uncertain, knowledge about standard laboratory tests are used together with the classification result in order to determine a subset of tests to conduct that should result in a fast identification of the bacteria. The information about the laboratory tests are contained in an ontology. The result from the alignment is new classifier where recommendations are given to a user (expert) based on the interpretation of the sensor data that is done automatically.
