Self-supervision for health insurance claims data: a Covid-19 use case [PDF]
In this work, we modify and apply self-supervision techniques to the domain of medical health insurance claims. We model patients' healthcare claims history analogous to free-text narratives, and introduce pre-trained `prior knowledge', later utilized for patient outcome predictions on a challenging task: predicting Covid-19 hospitalization, given a ...
