• Abstract summary: We deal with critical health events, which represent a significant cause of mortality in intensive care units of hospitals. One of the most common approaches to tackle early anomaly detection problems is standard classification methods. In this paper we propose a novel method that uses a layered learning architecture to address these tasks.

• Abstract: The early detection of anomalous events in time series data is essential in many domains of application. In this paper we deal with critical health events, which represent a significant cause of mortality in intensive care units of hospitals. The timely prediction of these events is crucial for mitigating their consequences and improving healthcare. One of the most common approaches to tackle early anomaly detection problems is standard classification methods. In this paper we propose a novel method that uses a layered learning architecture to address these tasks. One key contribution of our work is the idea of pre-conditional events, which denote arbitrary but computable relaxed versions of the event of interest. We leverage this idea to break the original problem into two hierarchical layers, which we hypothesize are easier to solve. The results suggest that the proposed approach leads to a better performance relative to state of the art approaches for critical health episode prediction.

  We introduce CenTime, a novel approach to survival analysis that directly estimates the time to event. Our method features an innovative event-conditional censoring mechanism that performs robustly even when uncensored data is scarce. Our results indicate that CenTime offers state-of-the-art performance in predicting time-to-death while maintaining comparable ranking performance.

  Sepsis is a syndrome that develops in the body in response to the presence of an infection. Current machine learning algorithms have demonstrated poor performance and are insufficient for anticipating sepsis onset early. We propose a novel but realistic prediction framework that predicts sepsis onset each morning using the most recent data collected the previous night.

  We consider the violation of the classical no-interference assumption, meaning that the treatment of one individuals might affect the outcomes of another. To make interference tractable, we consider a known network that describes how interference may travel. We study estimators for the average direct treatment effect on the treated in such a setting.

  The goal of sequential event prediction is to estimate the next event based on a sequence of historical events. In practice, the next-event prediction models are trained with sequential data collected at one time. We propose a framework with hierarchical branching structures for learning context-specific representations.

  In this paper, we take advantage of the inherent properties of neural networks to federate the process of training of survival analysis models. In the realistic setting of small medical datasets and only a few data centers, this noise makes it harder for the models to converge. We propose DPFed-post which adds a post-processing stage to the private federated learning scheme.

  A common problem in the task of human-object interaction (HOI) detection is that numerous HOI classes have only a small number of labeled examples. We observe that there exist natural correlations and anti-correlations among human-object interactions. We present techniques to learn these priors and leverage them for more effective training, especially on rare classes.
