ABSTRACT
Predictive diagnosis benefits both patients and hospitals. Major challenges limiting the effectiveness of machine learning based predictive diagnosis include the lack of efficient feature selection methods and the heterogeneity of measured patient data (e.g., vital signs). In this paper, we propose DLFS, an efficient feature selection scheme based on deep learning that is applicable for heterogeneous data. DLFS is unsupervised in nature and can learn compact representations from patient data automatically for efficient prediction. In this paper, the specific problem of predicting the patients' length of stay in the hospital is investigated in a predictive diagnosis framework which uses DLFS for feature selection. Real patient data from the pneumonia database of the National University Health System (NUHS) in Singapore are collected to verify the effectiveness of DLFS. By running experiments on real-world patient data and comparing with several other commonly used feature selection methods, we demonstrate the advantage of the proposed DLFS scheme.

An agent-based game for the predictive diagnosis of parkinson's disease
AAMAS '14: Proceedings of the 2014 international conference on Autonomous agents and multi-agent systemsExisting Parkinson's Disease (PD) diagnosis relies heavily on doctors' observations combined with neurological exams. Such a technique is often inconvenient, infrequent, and subjective, which leads to a high misdiagnosis rate. As several cardinal ...
