Article Abstract

Electronic health records (EHR) enable machine learning methods like tensor factorization to extract computational phenotypes. Using Northwestern Medicine data (2000-2015), we analyzed breast, prostate, colorectal, and lung cancer cohorts to predict five-year mortality. Adding a supervised term, indication filtering, and social determinants of health (SDOH) covariates improved interpretability and performance. AUCs ranged from 0.623-0.694 (breast), 0.603-0.750 (prostate), 0.523-0.641 (colorectal), and 0.517-0.623 (lung). Constrained tensor factorization proves effective for deriving mortality-predictive phenotypes from sparse EHR data.

We present a cost-reduced approach for the distinguishable cluster approximation to coupled cluster with singles, doubles, and iterative triples (DC-CCSDT) based on a tensor decomposition of the triples amplitudes. The triples amplitudes and residuals are processed in the singular-value-decomposition (SVD) basis. Truncation of the SVD basis according to the values of the singular values together with the density fitting (or Cholesky) factorization of the electron repulsion integrals reduces the scaling of the method to N6, and the DC approximation removes the most expensive terms of the SVD triples residuals and at the same time improves the accuracy of the method.

Recently, a tensor-on-tensor (ToT) regression model has been proposed to generalize tensor recovery, encompassing scenarios like scalar-on-tensor regression and tensor-on-vector regression. However, the exponential growth in tensor complexity poses challenges for storage and computation in ToT regression. To overcome this hurdle, tensor decompositions have been introduced, with the tensor train (TT)-based ToT model proving efficient in practice due to reduced memory requirements, enhanced computational efficiency, and decreased sampling complexity.

Piano-based occupational therapy has emerged as an engaging and effective rehabilitation strategy for improving upper limb motor functions. However, a lack of comprehensive biomechanical modeling, objective rehabilitation assessment, and real-time fatigue monitoring has limited its clinical optimization. This study developed a comprehensive "key-finger-exoskeleton" biomechanical model based on Hill-type muscle dynamics and rigid-body kinematics.
