Chronic Disease Prediction Using Character-Recurrent Neural Network in The Presence of Missing Information

The aim of this study was to predict chronic diseases in individual patients using a character-recurrent neural network (Char-RNN), which is a deep learning model that treats data in each class as a word when a large portion of its input values is missing. An advantage of Char-RNN is that it does not require any additional imputation method because it implicitly infers missing values considering the relationship with nearby data points. We...
