• Abstract summary: We propose a novel time associated meta learning (TAML) method to make effective predictions at multiple future time points. To address the sparsity problem after task splitting, TAML employs a temporal information sharing strategy to augment the number of positive samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TAML on multiple clinical datasets, where it consistently outperforms a range of strong baselines.

• Abstract: Rich Electronic Health Records (EHR), have created opportunities to improve clinical processes using machine learning methods. Prediction of the same patient events at different time horizons can have very different applications and interpretations; however, limited number of events in each potential time window hurts the effectiveness of conventional machine learning algorithms. We propose a novel time associated meta learning (TAML) method to make effective predictions at multiple future time points. We view time-associated disease prediction as classification tasks at multiple time points. Such closely-related classification tasks are an excellent candidate for model-based meta learning. To address the sparsity problem after task splitting, TAML employs a temporal information sharing strategy to augment the number of positive samples and include the prediction of related phenotypes or events in the meta-training phase. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TAML on multiple clinical datasets, where it consistently outperforms a range of strong baselines. We also develop a MetaEHR package for implementing both time-associated and time-independent few-shot prediction on EHR data.

  We study multi-task learning for molecular property prediction in a novel setting, where a relation graph between tasks is available. In the emphlatent space, we model the task representations by applying a state graph neural network (SGNN) on the relation graph. In the emphoutput space, we employ structured prediction with the energy-based model (EBM), which can be efficiently trained through noise-contrastive estimation (NCE) approach.

We propose a novel temporal asymmetric multi-task learning model that performs knowledge transfer from certain tasks/timesteps to relevant uncertain tasks, based on feature-level uncertainty.
