Multimodal Machine Learning for Automated ICD Coding
This study presents a multimodal machine learning model to predict ICD-10
diagnostic codes. We developed separate machine learning models that can handle
data from different modalities, including unstructured text, semi-structured
text and structured tabular data. We further employed an ensemble method to
integrate all modality-specific models to generate ICD-10 codes. Key evidence
was also extracted to make our prediction more convincing and explainable. We
used the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC -III) dataset
to validate our approach. For ICD code prediction, our best-performing model
(micro-F1 = 0.7633, micro-AUC = 0.9541) significantly outperforms other
baseline models including TF-IDF (micro-F1 = 0.6721, micro-AUC = 0.7879) and
Text-CNN model (micro-F1 = 0.6569, micro-AUC = 0.9235). For interpretability,
our approach achieves a Jaccard Similarity Coefficient (JSC) of 0.1806 on text
data and 0.3105 on tabular data, where well-trained physicians achieve 0.2780
and 0.5002 respectively.Comment: Machine Learning for Healthcare 201
Image mining: trends and developments
[Abstract]: Advances in image acquisition and storage technology have led to tremendous growth in very large and detailed image databases. These images, if analyzed, can reveal useful information to the human users. Image mining deals with the extraction of implicit knowledge, image data relationship, or other patterns not explicitly stored in the images. Image mining is more than just an extension of data mining to image domain. It is an interdisciplinary endeavor that draws upon expertise in computer vision, image processing, image retrieval, data mining, machine learning, database, and artificial intelligence. In this paper, we will examine the research issues in image mining, current developments in image mining, particularly, image mining frameworks, state-of-the-art techniques and systems. We will also identify some future research directions for image mining
A Survey of Location Prediction on Twitter
Locations, e.g., countries, states, cities, and point-of-interests, are
central to news, emergency events, and people's daily lives. Automatic
identification of locations associated with or mentioned in documents has been
explored for decades. As one of the most popular online social network
platforms, Twitter has attracted a large number of users who send millions of
tweets on daily basis. Due to the world-wide coverage of its users and
real-time freshness of tweets, location prediction on Twitter has gained
significant attention in recent years. Research efforts are spent on dealing
with new challenges and opportunities brought by the noisy, short, and
context-rich nature of tweets. In this survey, we aim at offering an overall
picture of location prediction on Twitter. Specifically, we concentrate on the
prediction of user home locations, tweet locations, and mentioned locations. We
first define the three tasks and review the evaluation metrics. By summarizing
Twitter network, tweet content, and tweet context as potential inputs, we then
structurally highlight how the problems depend on these inputs. Each dependency
is illustrated by a comprehensive review of the corresponding strategies
adopted in state-of-the-art approaches. In addition, we also briefly review two
related problems, i.e., semantic location prediction and point-of-interest
recommendation. Finally, we list future research directions.Comment: Accepted to TKDE. 30 pages, 1 figur
