| Challenge: | identifying predictive text in clinical notes can be as important as the predictions themselves . identifying specific content in clinical note descriptions may illuminate previously unknown risk factors . |
| Approach: | They propose a method for identifying predictive text in clinical notes . they use linear attention to formalize the problem as predictive extraction . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model preserves differentiability and allows scalable inference via stochastic gradient descent. |
