MEDS KDD 2025 Tutorial
Building a model with MEDS: from the key design principles through data extraction, task definition, and model building.
This page hosts the complete form of the notebooks explored interactively at the MEDS KDD 2025 Tutorial.
📄️ Getting Familiar with MEDS
Before we start building datasets and models using the MEDS ecosystem, we need to understand what the MEDS
📄️ Converting to MEDS
In this tutorial, we'll extract a dataset in MEDS format for downstream use. See below for the jupyter
📄️ Extracting a Prediction Task
To easily extract prediction tasks from MEDS Data, we will use the
📄️ Build a (Tabular Baseline) Model over MEDS data
In this tutorial, we'll use the dataset we extracted previously and build a neural network model to predict
📄️ Build a (Neural Network) Model over MEDS data
In this tutorial, we'll use the dataset we extracted previously and build a neural network model to predict
