IPC: G06N3/04
Filed: 2021-08-31
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of training an artificial neural network is provided. The artificial neural network comprises an input layer, an embedding layer, a hazard layer and a cluster layer. The network may comprise one or more non-linear intermediate layers between the input and embedding layer, one or more further non-linear intermediate layers between the embedding and hazard layer as well as the cluster layer and respective network weights for each layer, wherein the dimensionality of the embedding layer is less than that of the input layer. Data units are defined within a data space to have a data value for each dimension of the data space and an outcome associated with each data unit, the outcome label indicating the outcome to which each data sample belongs and the time at which the outcome was observed. The network is trained using a combination of unsupervised learning to reduce a loss of the autoencoder and supervised learning to reduce a Cox regression loss of the hazard layer. The resulting network finds application in providing embeddings using a combination of unsupervised and supervised learning, for clustering data using the embedding, for example clustering patient subgroups based on electronic healthcare records (EHR) trajectory data. Advantageously, by combining the unsupervised training of the autoencoder with the supervised training of the hazard layer, it has been found that the weights of the autoencoder may be adapted to provide an embedding that better separates the outcomes in the data
