Patient Risk Assessment and Warning Symptom Detection Using Deep Attention-Based Neural Networks

Abstract: We present an operational component of a real-world patient triage system. Given a specific patient presentation, the system is able to assess the level of medical urgency and issue the most appropriate recommendation in terms of best point of care and time to treat. We use an attention-based convolutional neural network architecture trained on 600,000 doctor notes in German. We compare two approaches, one that uses the full text of the medical notes and one that uses only a selected list of medical entities e… Show more

“…The most similar works to ours are in (Yang et al, 2018;Li et al, 2017) which trains an endto-end convolutional network model to predict di-agnosis based on EMRs. Besides, Girardi et al (2018) improves the CNN model with the attention mechanism in automatic diagnosis. Moreover, Mullenbach et al (2018) studies a label-wise attention model to further improve the accuracy of diagnosis at the cost of more computation time.…”

“…(Motivating Examples) This work is motivated by our experience of supporting developers, most of whom are not ML experts, in building a range of ML applications [4,7,14,15,16,17] over the last three years. Specifically, we are motivated by the struggles that our users face even after they have access to an AutoML system [11] with a scalable and efficient training engine [18] when training an ML model becomes easier, users start to seek systematic guidelines, which, if followed step by step, can lead to the right model.…”
