Early sepsis detection – Best paper award – ICTAI 2022
The 34th IEEE International Conference on Tools with Artificial Intelligence was held virtually from 31s of October to the 2nd of November. With Aron Henriksson and in collaboration with Karolinska Institutet we presented our paper “Improving the Timeliness of Early Prediction Models for Sepsis through Utility Optimization” and we are very happy to announce that we received the best paper award. In the paper that will be published in the proceedings of the conference, we explore the capabilities of using custom objective functions to develop a machine learning model that can perform sepsis prediction over time in a manner that will be useful for practitioners in assisting them to perform timely intervention and initiate treatment early, which is key to survival.
