Machine learning constructs problem-based medical records from electronic health records.
PyKale bridges interdisciplinary ML with Python, enabling accurate predictions.
Electronic Health Records (EHR) are high-dimensional data with implicit connections among thousands of medical concepts. These connections, for instance, the co-occurrence of diseases and lab-disease correlations can be informative when only a subset of these variables is documented by the clinician. A feasible approac…
