ATHENA framework automates EHR model architecture search

Researchers have developed ATHENA, a novel knowledge-guided agentic neural architecture search (NAS) framework specifically designed for Transformer-based electronic health record (EHR) modeling. This system aims to automate the optimization of model architectures, which typically require extensive manual tuning for clinical prediction tasks. ATHENA incorporates a weight-sharing supernet and a cross-hospital architecture prior, leveraging past successful designs and component effects to guide a multi-agent LLM search. Across six clinical prediction tasks and two health systems, ATHENA demonstrated competitive or superior performance compared to four NAS baselines within a limited search budget. AI

IMPACT Streamlines the development of specialized AI models for healthcare, potentially improving clinical prediction accuracy and efficiency.

RANK_REASON The cluster contains an academic paper detailing a new method for neural architecture search. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]

    ATHENA: Knowledge-guided agentic neural architecture search for AutoFormer-based electronic health record modeling

    Transformer-based models are widely used for clinical prediction from electronic health records (EHRs), yet their architectures still require substantial manual tuning, and the optimal configuration may vary across tasks and hospitals. Neural architecture search (NAS) automates a…
