• Abstract: Sleep disorders have a major impact on patients' health and quality of life, but their diagnosis remains complex due to the diversity of symptoms. Today, technological advances, combined with medical data analysis, are opening new perspectives for a better understanding of these disorders. In particular, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) aims to make AI model decisions understandable and interpretable for users. In this study, we propose a clustering-based method to group patients according to different sleep disorder profiles. By integrating an explainable approach, we identify the key factors influencing these pathologies. An experiment on anonymized real data illustrates the effectiveness and relevance of our approach.

  Machine learning models can make decisions based on large amounts of data, but they can be missing personal knowledge available to human users about whom predictions are made. In this work, we introduce the problem of human feature integration, which provides a way to incorporate important personal-knowledge from users without domain expertise into ML predictions.

We develop chain of thought prompting methods that use LLMs to generate reasoning about how trends in data relate to conditions like depression and anxiety. We find models like GPT-4 correctly reference numerical data 75% of the time, and clinician participants express strong interest in using this approach to interpret self-tracking data.
