Towards graph-based class-imbalance learning for hospital readmission

作者:

Highlights:

• Provides a new optimization framework for solving the readmission prediction.

• Propose a graph-based method to deal with the class-imbalanced problem.

• Present an end-to-end trainable prediction model to improve the generalization.

• Applied the proposed method on six real-world readmission datasets.

• The method is proved to be effective in comparison to other methods.
