• Title: Adaptive Prediction Timing for Electronic Health Records
• Authors: Jacob Deasy, Ari Ercole and Pietro Li\`o
• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel, more realistic, approach to generating patient outcome predictions at an adaptive rate. We use a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and a Bayesian embedding layer with a new aggregation method to demonstrate adaptive prediction timing. At 48 hours after patient admission, our model achieves equal performance compared to its static-windowed counterparts.

• Abstract: In realistic scenarios, multivariate timeseries evolve over case-by-case time-scales. This is particularly clear in medicine, where the rate of clinical events varies by ward, patient, and application. Increasingly complex models have been shown to effectively predict patient outcomes, but have failed to adapt granularity to these inherent temporal resolutions. As such, we introduce a novel, more realistic, approach to generating patient outcome predictions at an adaptive rate based on uncertainty accumulation in Bayesian recurrent models. We use a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and a Bayesian embedding layer with a new aggregation method to demonstrate adaptive prediction timing. Our model predicts more frequently when events are dense or the model is certain of event latent representations, and less frequently when readings are sparse or the model is uncertain. At 48 hours after patient admission, our model achieves equal performance compared to its static-windowed counterparts, while generating patient- and event-specific prediction timings that lead to improved predictive performance over the crucial first 12 hours of the patient stay.

  Most existing forecasting models disregard uncertainty quantification, resulting in mis-calibrated predictions. Recent works in deep neural models for uncertainty-aware time-series forecasting also have several limitations. We model the forecasting task as a probabilistic generative process and propose a functional neural process model called EPIFNP.

  We propose a robust in-time predictor for in-hospital COVID-19 patient's probability of requiring mechanical ventilation. A challenge in the risk prediction for COVID-19 patients lies in the great variability and irregular sampling of patient's vitals and labs observed in the clinical setting. We frame the prediction task into a multi-objective learning framework, and the risk scores at all time points are optimized altogether.

We conduct experiments using both county- and state-level COVID-19 data and show that our model can identify interesting latent patterns of the epidemic.
