Researchers have developed a new framework called Clinical Narrative-informed Preference Rewards (CN-PR) to learn reward functions for reinforcement learning in healthcare. This method extracts trajectory-level preferences from clinical narratives, such as discharge summaries, to supervise the learning process. The CN-PR framework was evaluated in dynamic sepsis treatment, showing that policies learned with this approach led to improved recovery outcomes and comparable mortality rates to existing methods.
