Temporal tree representation for similarity computation between medical patients

作者:

Highlights:

• Temporal Tree explicitly models EHRs properties such as temporality, multivariaty.

• Temporal Tree captures the compound information based on temporal co-occurrence.

• Temporal Tree is useful to compute the similarity between patients.

• The effectiveness of Temporal Tree is evaluated on task of diagnosis prediction.

• Temporal Tree is valuable for representation learning and embedded representations.
