New HALO pipeline optimizes clinical data labeling under budget constraints

Researchers have developed HALO, a novel pipeline for optimizing label acquisition from longitudinal clinical records within a limited budget. This framework jointly learns which evidence to select from patient histories and how to allocate different fidelity label sources. In a heart failure case study, HALO demonstrated superior performance in acquiring labels and training downstream classifiers compared to existing methods across various budget constraints. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of training AI models on sensitive clinical data by optimizing the use of limited labeling resources.

    HALO: Hierarchical Evidence Selection and Reinforcement Learning for Allocating Budgeted Label Optimization from Longitudinal Clinical Records

    arXiv:2611.00986v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Learning from extensive longitudinal clinical records--spanning repeated encounters, evolving conditions, and heterogeneous documentation--under a finite labeling budget requires solving two coupled problems: deciding what evidence …
