HiCu: Leveraging Hierarchy for Curriculum Learning in Automated ICD Coding. (arXiv:2208.02301v1 [cs.LG])

There are several opportunities for automation in healthcare that can improve
clinician throughput. One such example is assistive tools to document diagnosis
codes when clinicians write notes. We study the automation of medical code
prediction using curriculum learning, which is a training strategy for machine
learning models that gradually increases the hardness of the learning tasks
from easy to difficult. One of the challenges in curriculum learning is the
design of curricula -- i.e., in the sequential design of tasks …
