Acerca de este Programa Especializado
Proyecto de aprendizaje aplicado
Learners have the opportunity to choose and undertake an exercise based on MIMIC-III extracted datasets that combines knowledge from:
- Data mining of Clinical Databases to query the MIMIC database
- Deep learning in Electronic Health Records to pre-process EHR and build deep learning models
- Explainable deep learning models for healthcare to explain the models decision
Learners can choose from:
1. Permutation feature importance on the MIMIC critical care database
The technique is applied both on logistic regression and on an LSTM model. The explanations derived are global explanations of the model.
2. LIME on the MIMIC critical care database
The technique is applied on both logistic regression and an LSTM model. The explanations derived are local explanations of the model.
3. Grad-CAM on the MIMIC critical care database
GradCam is implemented and applied on an LSTM model that predicts mortality. The explanations derived are local explanations of the model.
Last year undergraduate or master students of computing science or engineering. Basic knowledge on SQL queries and python is required.

Data mining of Clinical Databases - CDSS 1
This course will introduce MIMIC-III, which is the largest publicly Electronic Health Record (EHR) database available to benchmark machine learning algorithms. In particular, you will learn about the design of this relational database, what tools are available to query, extract and visualise descriptive analytics.
Deep learning in Electronic Health Records - CDSS 2
Overview of the main principles of Deep Learning along with common architectures. Formulate the problem for time-series classification and apply it to vital signals such as ECG. Applying this methods in Electronic Health Records is challenging due to the missing values and the heterogeneity in EHR, which include both continuous, ordinal and categorical variables. Subsequently, explore imputation techniques and different encoding strategies to address these issues. Apply these approaches to formulate clinical prediction benchmarks derived from information available in MIMIC-III database.
Explainable deep learning models for healthcare - CDSS 3
This course will introduce the concepts of interpretability and explainability in machine learning applications. The learner will understand the difference between global, local, model-agnostic and model-specific explanations. State-of-the-art explainability methods such as Permutation Feature Importance (PFI), Local Interpretable Model-agnostic Explanations (LIME) and SHapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP) are explained and applied in time-series classification. Subsequently, model-specific explanations such as Class-Activation Mapping (CAM) and Gradient-Weighted CAM are explained and implemented. The learners will understand axiomatic attributions and why they are important. Finally, attention mechanisms are going to be incorporated after Recurrent Layers and the attention weights will be visualised to produce local explanations of the model.
Clinical Decision Support Systems - CDSS 4
Machine learning systems used in Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) require further external validation, calibration analysis, assessment of bias and fairness. In this course, the main concepts of machine learning evaluation adopted in CDSS will be explained. Furthermore, decision curve analysis along with human-centred CDSS that need to be explainable will be discussed. Finally, privacy concerns of deep learning models and potential adversarial attacks will be presented along with the vision for a new generation of explainable and privacy-preserved CDSS.
