Machine learning models are often trained to predict the outcome resulting from a human decision. For example, if a doctor decides to test a patient for disease, will the patient test positive? A challenge is that historical decision-making…

Every year, millions of patients pass through emergency departments and intensive care units, where clinicians must make high-stakes decisions under time pressure and uncertainty. Machine learning could support prediction of deterioration,…

A ubiquitous task in processing electronic medical data is the assignment of standardized codes representing diagnoses and/or procedures to free-text documents such as medical reports. This is a difficult natural language processing task…

Monitoring patients in ICU is a challenging and high-cost task. Hence, predicting the condition of patients during their ICU stay can help provide better acute care and plan the hospital's resources. There has been continuous progress in…

ICU readmission is associated with longer hospitalization, mortality and adverse outcomes. An early recognition of ICU re-admission can help prevent patients from worse situation and lower treatment cost. As the abundance of Electronics…

Predicting time-to-event outcomes in large databases can be a challenging but important task. One example of this is in predicting the time to a clinical outcome for patients in intensive care units (ICUs), which helps to support critical…

Predicting critical health outcomes such as patient mortality and hospital readmission is essential for improving survivability. However, healthcare datasets have many concurrences that create complexities, leading to poor predictions.…

The growth of data today poses a challenge in management and inference. While feature extraction methods are capable of reducing the size of the data for inference, they do not help in minimizing the cost of data storage. On the other hand,…

Many real-world machine learning applications are characterized by a huge number of features, leading to computational and memory issues, as well as the risk of overfitting. Ideally, only relevant and non-redundant features should be…

Data augmentations are widely used in training medical image deep learning models to increase the diversity and size of sparse datasets. However, commonly used augmentation techniques can result in loss of clinically relevant information…

Developing predictive modelling solutions for risk estimation is extremely challenging in health-care informatics. Risk estimation involves integration of heterogeneous clinical sources having different representation from different…

A key task of data science is to identify relevant features linked to certain output variables that are supposed to be modeled or predicted. To obtain a small but meaningful model, it is important to find stochastically independent…

Leveraging ML advancements to augment healthcare systems can improve patient outcomes. Yet, uninformed engineering decisions in early-stage research inadvertently hinder the feasibility of such solutions for high-throughput, on-device…

Clinical notes contain a large amount of clinically valuable information that is ignored in many clinical decision support systems due to the difficulty that comes with mining that information. Recent work has found success leveraging deep…

We consider machine-learning-based malignancy prediction and lesion identification from clinical dermatological images, which can be indistinctly acquired via smartphone or dermoscopy capture. Additionally, we do not assume that images…

Traditionally, machine learning algorithms rely on the assumption that all features of a given dataset are available for free. However, there are many concerns such as monetary data collection costs, patient discomfort in medical…

Feature selection involes identifying the most relevant subset of input features, with a view to improving generalization of predictive models by reducing overfitting. Directly searching for the most relevant combination of attributes is…

Current Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) methods mainly depend on medical images. The clinical information, which usually needs to be considered in practical clinical diagnosis, has not been fully employed in CAD. In this paper, we propose a…

Obtaining datasets labeled to facilitate model development is a challenge for most machine learning tasks. The difficulty is heightened for medical imaging, where data itself is limited in accessibility and labeling requires costly time and…

Dynamic assessment of patient status (e.g. by an automated, continuously updated assessment of outcome) in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is of paramount importance for early alerting, decision support and resource allocation. Extraction and…
