Temporal Convolutional Neural Networks for Diagnosis from Lab Tests

2015 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Early diagnosis of treatable diseases is essential for improving healthcare, and many diseases' onsets are predictable from annual lab tests and their temporal trends. We introduce a multi-resolution convolutional neural network for early detection of …

Multi-task Prediction of Disease Onsets from Longitudinal Lab Tests

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Disparate areas of machine learning have benefited from models that can take raw data with little preprocessing as input and learn rich representations of that raw data in order to perform well on a given …

Character-Aware Neural Language Models

2015 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We describe a simple neural language model that relies only on character-level inputs. Predictions are still made at the word-level. Our model employs a convolutional neural network (CNN) and a highway network over characters, whose …
