In this paper, we propose a method which visualizes irregular multi-dimensional time-series data as a sequence of probabilistic prototypes for detecting exceptions from medical test data. Conventional visualization methods often require iterative analysis and considerable skill thus are not totally supported by a wide range of medical experts. Our PrototypeLines displays summarized information based on a probabilistic mixture model by using hue only thus is considered to exhibit novelty. The effectiveness of the summarization is pursued mainly through use of a novel information criterion. We report our endeavor with chronic hepatitis data, especially discoveries of interesting exceptions by a non-expert and an untrained expert.
