We introduce a novel approach to automatically detect ineffective breathing efforts in patients in intensive care subject to assisted ventilation. The method is based on synthesising from data temporal logic formulae which are able to discriminate between normal and ineffective breaths. The learning procedure consists in first constructing statistical models of normal and abnormal breath signals, and then in looking for an optimally discriminating formula. The space of formula structures, and…

Respiratory mechanics and patient effort in mechanical ventilation
TLDR
This research presents a model that allows resistance to vary linearly with pressure, which offers similar performance to a more complex respiratory mechanics model.
A Logic-Based Learning Approach to Explore Diabetes Patient Behaviors
TLDR
T1D patient behaviors using a Signal Temporal Logic (STL) based learning approach characterize behavior patterns that may result in varying glycemic control, and can provide feedback to clinicians and patients about behavioral changes that patients may implement to improve T1D control.
Quantitative Regular Expressions for Arrhythmia Detection
TLDR
It is shown that QREs are more suitable than classical temporal logics to express in a concise and easy way a range of peak detectors and various discriminators at the heart of today's arrhythmia detection devices.
A Robust Genetic Algorithm for Learning Temporal Specifications from Data
TLDR
A systematic approach to synthesize both the syntactical structure and the parameters of the temporal logic formula using a two-steps procedure and indicates that the proposed approach outperforms the previous work w.r.t. the decision-tree based approach with a comparable speed and accuracy.
Online Learning of Temporal Logic Formulae for Signal Classification

Offline and Online Learning of Signal Temporal Logic Formulae Using Decision Trees
TLDR
A decision-tree-based framework is devised that outputs an STL formula that can distinguish the traces of a system and is interpretable and can be used in other phases of the system’s operation, such as monitoring and control.
Uncertainty-Aware Signal Temporal Logic Inference
TLDR
This paper investigates the uncertainties associated with trajectories of a system and represents such uncertainties in the form of interval trajectories, and proposes two uncertaintyaware signal temporal logic (STL) inference approaches to classify the undesired behaviors and desired behaviors of a systems.

The results suggest that leaks play a major role in generating patient–ventilator asynchrony and discomfort, and point the way to further research to determine if ventilator functions designed to cope with leaks can reduce as synchrony in the clinical setting.

Patient-ventilator asynchrony during assisted mechanical ventilation
TLDR
One-fourth of patients exhibit a high incidence of asynchrony during assisted ventilation, which is associated with a prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation and with excessive levels of ventilatory support.
Neural control of mechanical ventilation in respiratory failure
TLDR
To avoid discoordination between the patient and the ventilator, it is often necessary to suppress the patient’s intrinsic respiratory drive with the use of hyperventilation, sedation or even muscle paralysis, which increase the risk of complications due to excessive ventilation.
