• Abstract: We introduce a novel contrastive representation learning objective and a training scheme for clinical time series. Specifically, we project high dimensional E.H.R. data to a closed unit ball of low dimension, encoding geometric priors so that the origin represents an idealized perfect health state and the euclidean norm is associated with the patient's mortality risk. Moreover, using septic patients as an example, we show how we could learn to associate the angle between two vectors with the different organ system failures, thereby, learning a compact representation which is indicative of both mortality risk and specific organ failure. We show how the learned embedding can be used for online patient monitoring, supplement clinicians and improve performance of downstream machine learning tasks. This work was partially motivated from the desire and the need to introduce a systematic way of defining intermediate rewards for Reinforcement Learning in critical care medicine. Hence, we also show how such a design in terms of the learned embedding can result in qualitatively different policies and value distributions, as compared with using only terminal rewards.

  One of the main application for such disentangled representations is fair classification. We adopt an information-theoretic view of this problem which motivates a novel family of regularizers. The resulting set of losses, called CLINIC, is parameter free and thus, it is easier and faster to train.

We then develop two complementary regularization schemes to progressively incorporate the prior knowledge into the training process.
