Abstract

Techniques disclosed herein relate to learning and applying contextual patient similarities. Multiple template similarity functions may be provided. Each template similarity function may compare a respective subset of features of a query entity feature vector with a corresponding subset of features of a candidate entity feature vector. A composite similarity function may be provided as a weighted combination of respective outputs of the template similarity functions. A plurality of labeled entity vectors may be provided as context training data. An approximation function may be applied to approximate a first context label for each respective labeled entity vector. A first context specific composite similarity function may be trained based on the composite similarity function by learning first context weights for the template similarity functions using a first loss function based on output of application of the approximation function to the first context training data.
