In this work, we propose a novel autoregressive event time-series model that can predict future occurrences of multivariate clinical events. Our model represents multivariate event time-series using different temporal mechanisms aimed to fit differen...
Receiving timely and appropriate treatment is crucial for better health outcomes, and research on the contribution of specific variables is essential. In the mental health domain, an important research variable is the date of psychosis symptom onset,...
Machine learning has been suggested as a means of identifying individuals at greatest risk for hospital readmission, including psychiatric readmission. We sought to compare the performance of predictive models that use interpretable representations d...
Deep learning has demonstrated success in many applications; however, their use in healthcare has been limited due to the lack of transparency into how they generate predictions. Algorithms such as Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) when applied to Ele...

BACKGROUND: Next-generation sequencing provides comprehensive information about individuals' genetic makeup and is commonplace in oncology clinical practice. However, the utility of genetic information in the clinical decision-making process has not ...
IMPORTANCE: In the US, more than 600 000 adults will experience an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) each year, and up to 20% of the patients will be rehospitalized within 30 days. This study highlights the need for consideration of calibration in th...
OBJECTIVES: Health care organizations are increasingly employing social workers to address patients' social needs. However, social work (SW) activities in health care settings are largely captured as text data within electronic health records (EHRs),...
OBJECTIVES: Patient representation learning refers to learning a dense mathematical representation of a patient that encodes meaningful information from Electronic Health Records (EHRs). This is generally performed using advanced deep learning method...
