Title: 

Increased understanding of patient multimorbidity profiles via clustering.

Abstract:

The critical nature of medical tasks creates a need for medical professionals to understand and interpret the results of machine learning algorithms for this domain. Clustering is one of the relevant task in healthcare, helping with the identification of groups of clinically similar patients. While various techniques are used to accomplish this task, there are still challenges that stand in the way of its wider use. In this talk, we examine some of the problems with current clustering approaches and present an alternative method, which offers solutions to these problems and can potentially lead to more interpretable models.
