Abstract
BACKGROUND: The practice of medicine has evolved significantly during the past decade, with the emergence of Machine Learning (ML) that offers the opportunity of personalized patient-tailored care. However, ML models still face some challenges when classifying patients where clear-cut boundaries between classes are hard to identify. In this work, we propose an ML architecture to improve the sensitivity of detecting patients in intermediate "hard-to-classify" classes.
