[P] Deep learning for estimating race and ethnicity from electronic medical records (GitHub arXiv) • r/MachineLearning

I recently launched a new research project called RIDDLE: Race and ethnicity Imputation from Disease history with Deep LEarning. I haven't seen a lot of content on /r/machinelearning that deals with biomedical data, so I thought that this project might be interesting to some of you! RIDDLE uses deep MLPs to estimate race and ethnicity information from electronic medical records. The underlying methodology is not anything new, but I think the application is meaningful. RIDDLE is primarily useful for epidemiology research where race & ethnicity can be powerful confounders.
