Specialization - 5 course series

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.
