A convolutional document embedding approach based on the unstructured textual content of clinical notes shows significant performance gains compared to previously employed methods such as latent topic distributions or generic doc2vec embeddings for post-discharge mortality prediction.
Abstract
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.
