In this paper, we contribute to the field by exploring diagnostic decision-making via modeling physicians' utterances of medical concepts during image-based diagnoses. We conduct experiments to collect verbal narratives from dermatologists while they are examining and describing dermatology images towards diagnoses. We propose a hierarchical probabilistic framework to learn domain-specific patterns from the medical concepts in these narratives. The discovered patterns match the diagnostic units of thought identified by domain experts. These meaningful patterns uncover physicians' diagnostic decision-making processes while parsing the image content. Our evaluation shows that these patterns provide key information to classify narratives by diagnostic correctness levels.","doi":"10.24963/ijcai.2017/517","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/517","pdf":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/0517.pdf","markdown":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/517.md","bibtex":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/bibtex/517","volume":{"slug":"2017","title":"Proceedings of the Twenty-Sixth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence","short_title":"IJCAI 2017","url":"https://ijcai.org/proceedings/2017/","year":2017,"location":"Melbourne, Australia","dates":"19-25 August 2017","editors":"Carles Sierra","isbn":"978-0-9992411-0-3","publisher":"International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence Organization","doi_prefix":"10.24963/ijcai.2017"},"section":"Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications","track":"Main track","number":517,"pages":{"first":3700,"last":3706},"keywords":["Multidisciplinary Topics and Applications: Cognitive Modeling","Natural Language Processing: Natural Language Semantics"],"videos":[],"references":[{"position":1,"raw":"[Aronson, 2001] Alan R Aronson.
