Modeling multivariate clinical event time-series with recurrent temporal mechanisms

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a novel event time-series model that can predict clinical events.

• Different temporal mechanisms are used to process complex aspects of the time-series.

• Information about distant past is modeled through hidden states from LSTM.

• Information on recently observed events is modeled through discriminative projections.

• Information about periodic events is modeled using an external memory mechanism.

• The memory is based on probability distributions of interevent gaps compiled from past data.

• We evaluate our proposed model on electronic health record (EHRs) data derived from MIMIC-III dataset.

• We show that our approach leads to improved prediction performance compared to multiple baselines.
