Predicting & Understanding Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes

Adverse pregnancy outcomes such as Preterm Birth and Preeclampsia, are major long-lasting public health problems being the leading causes of mortality and long-term disabilities among neonates and mothers. Our goal is to devise understandable machine learning models that combine clinical and genetic data for risk prediction, and assessing the effectiveness of the methods in clinical practice.

Predicting Necrotizing Entercolitis

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a common, life-threatening intestinal disease that affects approximately 10% of premature infants during the first few weeks after birth. The project aims to deliver a set of MIL-based tools for prediction of NEC from metagenomic sequencing data combined with optional clinical or demographic metadata.

Proximal Junctional Kyphosis

Proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is a postoperative complication that occurs relatively frequently in the adult spinal deformity (ASD) population. The project aims to use privileged information and knowledge distillation to improve predictive power in existing models.

Infant Colic

Infant colic is defined as persistent inconsolable crying in healthy babies between 2 weeks and 4 months of age in which the baby appears to be in great discomfort and difficult to soothe. Our ongoing efforts and goals are to propose a refined diagnostic tool as well as study the underlying risk factors that lead to infant colic.
