1. A computer-implemented method for model building, comprising:
receiving a training set of medical records and model hyperparameters;
initializing an encoder, as a Dual-Channel Combiner Network (DCCN), and distribution related parameters;
building a model using a forward computation to (1) the encoder to obtain embeddings of the medical records by using a multilayer perceptron (MLP) of the DCCN to encode static patient profiles of the medical records and one or more Long Short-Term Memories (LSTMs) of the DCCN to encode temporal patient status features of the medical records, and (2) the distribution related parameters to obtain membership probabilities of a plurality of classes;
manipulating the embeddings of the medical records with the distribution related parameters to enable adaptation of the model to a fine-grained multi-class task;
performing iterative optimization of the model between (1) a step for obtaining posterior probabilities indicative of membership probabilities of the embeddings in one or more subclasses of each class of the plurality of classes, and (2) a step for obtaining updated encoder and distribution related model parameters while fixing one or more of the obtained posterior probabilities; and
personalizing the model responsive to convergence of the iterative optimization with a final set of updated encoder and distribution related model parameters by encoding support data of a new patient to obtain new embeddings and using the new embeddings to train a personalized classifier for the new patient that is configured to perform the fine-grained multi-class task.
