• Abstract: Low-prior targets are common among many important clinical events, which introduces the challenge of having enough data to support learning of their predictive models. Many prior works have addressed this problem by first building a general patient-state representation model, and then adapting it to a new low-prior prediction target. In this schema, there is potential for the predictive performance to be hindered by the misalignment between the general patient-state model and the target task. To overcome this challenge, we propose a new method that simultaneously optimizes a shared model through multi-task learning of both the low-prior supervised target and general purpose patient-state representation (GPSR). More specifically, our method improves prediction performance of a low-prior task by jointly optimizing a shared model that combines the loss of the target event and a broad range of generic clinical events. We study the approach in the context of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). Through extensive experiments on multiple clinical event targets using MIMIC-III data, we show that the inclusion of general patient-state representation tasks during model training improves the prediction of individual low-prior targets.

  Predictive models for clinical outcomes that are accurate on average in a patient population may underperform drastically for some subpopulations. We identify approaches for model development and selection that consistently improve disaggregated and worst-case performance over subpopulations. We find that, with relatively few exceptions, no approach performs better, for each patient subpopulation examined, than standard learning procedures.

  We study the problem of novel human-object interaction (HOI) detection, aiming at improving the generalization ability of the model to unseen scenarios. The challenge mainly stems from the large compositional space of objects and predicates, which leads to the lack of sufficient training data for all the object-predicate combinations. We propose a unified framework of adversarial domain generalization to learn object-invariant features for predicate prediction.
