Show abstract

An approach is described to building a clinical decision support tool which leverages a partially instantiated graphical model optimized through quantum annealing. Potential advantages of such a strategy include the practical, and potentially real-time, use of multidimensional patient data to make a host of intuitively understandable predictions and recommendations in complex cases which are informed by a data-driven probabilistic model. Preliminary proof-of-concept of the general approach is demonstrated using a large well-established anonymized patient data set, revealing the predictive capability of a specific model. Ideas for future research are discussed.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
