Neural Document Embeddings for Intensive Care Patient Mortality Prediction

1 Dec 2016  ·  Paulina Grnarova, Florian Schmidt, Stephanie L. Hyland, Carsten Eickhoff ·

We present an automatic mortality prediction scheme based on the unstructured textual content of clinical notes. Proposing a convolutional document embedding approach, our empirical investigation using the MIMIC-III intensive care database shows significant performance gains compared to previously employed methods such as latent topic distributions or generic doc2vec embeddings. These improvements are especially pronounced for the difficult problem of post-discharge mortality prediction.
