The rapid expansion of large-scale electronic health record (EHR) data offers unique opportunities to improve the accuracy and efficiency of clinical risk estimation. Yet, because clinical events may occur outside the recording health…
Disease phenotyping algorithms process observational clinical data to identify patients with specific diseases. Supervised phenotyping methods require significant quantities of expert-labeled data, while unsupervised methods may learn…
Clinical practice in intensive care units (ICUs) requires early warnings when a patient's condition is about to deteriorate so that preventive measures can be undertaken. To this end, prediction algorithms have been developed that estimate…
In biomedical studies, it is often desirable to characterize the interactive mode of multiple disease outcomes beyond their marginal risk. Ising model is one of the most popular choices serving for this purpose. Nevertheless, learning…
Computational analysis on physiological signals would provide immense impact for enabling automated clinical analytics. However, the class imbalance issue where negative or minority class instances are rare in number impairs the robustness…
A large and diverse set of measurements are regularly collected during a patient's hospital stay to monitor their health status. Tools for integrating these measurements into severity scores, that accurately track changes in illness…
Artificial intelligence holds strong potential to support clinical decision making in intensive care units where timely and accurate risk assessment is critical. However, many existing models focus on isolated outcomes or limited data…
Clinical laboratory tests provide essential biochemical measurements for diagnosis and treatment, but are limited by intermittent and invasive sampling. In contrast, photoplethysmogram (PPG) is a non-invasive, continuously recorded signal…
Electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation requires specialized expertise, often involving synthesizing insights from ECG signals with complex clinical queries posed in natural language. The scarcity of labeled ECG data coupled with the diverse…
Locked-in Syndrome patients are often misdiagnosed and face pessimistic prognosis because of similarities with disorders of consciousness, a lack of objective biomarkers and a difficult-to-recognize pathogenesis. Biomarkers show promise in…
