• Abstract summary: We present MedGTX, a pre-trained model for multi-modal representation learning of structured and textual EHR data. We pre-train our model through four proxy tasks on MIMIC-III, an open-source EHR data. The results consistently show the effectiveness of pre-training the model for joint representation of both structured and unstructured information from EHR.

• Abstract: As the volume of Electronic Health Records (EHR) sharply grows, there has been emerging interest in learning the representation of EHR for healthcare applications. Representation learning of EHR requires appropriate modeling of the two dominant modalities in EHR: structured data and unstructured text. In this paper, we present MedGTX, a pre-trained model for multi-modal representation learning of the structured and textual EHR data. MedGTX uses a novel graph encoder to exploit the graphical nature of structured EHR data, and a text encoder to handle unstructured text, and a cross-modal encoder to learn a joint representation space. We pre-train our model through four proxy tasks on MIMIC-III, an open-source EHR data, and evaluate our model on two clinical benchmarks and three novel downstream tasks which tackle real-world problems in EHR data. The results consistently show the effectiveness of pre-training the model for joint representation of both structured and unstructured information from EHR. Given the promising performance of MedGTX, we believe this work opens a new door to jointly understanding the two fundamental modalities of EHR data.

Our framework uses a two-level infusion strategy to combine medical concept semantics and clinical note semantics into hypergraph neural networks. Experiment results on two EHR datasets, the public MIMIC-III and private CRADLE, show that MINGLE can effectively improve predictive performance by 11.83% relatively.

  We propose a unified deep learning-based medical pre-trained language model, named UMM-PLM, to automatically learn representative features from multimodal EHRs. We first developed parallel unimodal information representation modules to capture the unimodal-specific characteristic, where unimodal representations were learned from each data source separately. A cross-modal module was further introduced to model the interactions between different modalities.
