Explaining medically unexplained symptoms.

Patients with medically unexplained symptoms comprise from 15% to 30% of all primary care consultations. Physicians often assume that psychological factors account for these symptoms, but current theories of psychogenic causation, somatization, and somatic amplification cannot fully account for common unexplained symptoms. Psychophysiological and sociophysiological models provide plausible medi...

Explaining the Unexplained Causes of Syncope

Determining the cause of recurrent unexplained syncope remains a clinical challenge and a permanent quest. Guidelines and multiple studies emphasize that a clear deductive method based on a thorough interrogation and examination can usually disclose the etiology of syncope in the majority of cases (2). Nonetheless, in daily clinical practice, applying a simple comprehensive diagnostic approach ...

Towards Self-Explaining Networks

In this paper, we argue that networks should be able to explain to their operators why they are in a certain state, even if – and particularly if – they have been compromised by an attacker. Such a capability would be useful in forensic investigations, where an operator observes an unexpected state and must decide whether it is benign or an indication that the system has been compromised. Using...

Towards Explaining Semantic Matching

Interoperability among systems using different term vocabularies requires some mapping between terms in the vocabularies. Matching applications generate such mappings. When the matching process utilizes term meaning (instead of simply relying on syntax), we refer to the process as semantic matching. If users are to use the results of matching applications, they need information about the mappin...
