Physiological monitoring in intensive care units (ICU) generates data that can be used in clinical research. However, the recording conditions in clinical settings limit the automated extraction of relevant information from physiological…
We demonstrate a simple strategy to cope with missing data in sequential inputs, addressing the task of multilabel classification of diagnoses given clinical time series. Collected from the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) at Children's…
Modern machine learning pipelines, in particular those based on deep learning (DL) models, require large amounts of labeled data. For classification problems, the most common learning paradigm consists of presenting labeled examples during…
Cannulation for hemodialysis is the act of inserting a needle into a surgically created vascular access (e.g., an arteriovenous fistula) for the purpose of dialysis. The main risk associated with cannulation is infiltration, the puncture of…
As one of the most prevalent diseases worldwide, plaque formation in human arteries, known as atherosclerosis, is the focus of many research efforts. Previously, molecular communication (MC) models have been proposed to capture and analyze…
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) learned on large-scale labeled samples have achieved remarkable progress in computer vision, such as image/video classification. The cheapest way to obtain a large body of labeled visual data is to…
Waveform physiological data is important in the treatment of critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. Such recordings are susceptible to artefacts, which must be removed before the data can be re-used for alerting or reprocessed…
Although machine learning has become a powerful tool to augment doctors in clinical analysis, the immense amount of labeled data that is necessary to train supervised learning approaches burdens each development task as time and resource…
In drug-resistant epilepsy, presurgical evaluation of epilepsy can be considered. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been shown to be an effective exam to inform the localization of the epileptogenic zone through the localization of…
Coronary angiography is considered to be a safe tool for the evaluation of coronary artery disease and perform in approximately 12 million patients each year worldwide. [1] In most cases, angiograms are manually analyzed by a cardiologist.…
A significant proportion of clinical physiologic monitoring alarms are false. This often leads to alarm fatigue in clinical personnel, inevitably compromising patient safety. To combat this issue, researchers have attempted to build Machine…
Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) results from plaque deposit in a coronary artery. Early diagnosis is imperative, so a non-invasive detection method is being developed to identify acoustic signals caused by partial occlusions in the artery.…

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is considered the gold standard of medical imaging because of the excellent soft-tissue contrast exhibited in the images reconstructed by the MRI pipeline, which in-turn enables the human radiologist to…
Biomedical image segmentation is critical for precise structure delineation and downstream analysis. Traditional methods often struggle with noisy data, while deep learning models such as U-Net have set new benchmarks in segmentation…
Line charts surface many features in time series data, from trends to periodicity to peaks and valleys. However, not every potentially important feature in the data may correspond to a visual feature which readers can detect or prioritize.…
Deep learning for clinical applications is subject to stringent performance requirements, which raises a need for large labeled datasets. However, the enormous cost of labeling medical data makes this challenging. In this paper, we build a…
