LEARNING AND APPLYING CONTEXTUAL SIMILARITIES BETWEEN ENTITIES

摘要

Techniques disclosed herein relate to learning and applying contextual patient similarities. Multiple template similarity functions may be provided. Each template similarity function may compare a respective subset of features of a query entity feature vector with a corresponding subset of features of a candidate entity feature vector. A composite similarity function may be provided as a weighted combination of respective outputs of the template similarity functions. A plurality of labeled entity vectors may be provided as context training data. An approximation function may be applied to approximate a first context label for each respective labeled entity vector. A first context specific composite similarity function may be trained based on the composite similarity function by learning first context weights for the template similarity functions using a first loss function based on output of application of the approximation function to the first context training data.
