The physician advised us on how sepsis is determined by summarizing Septic Shock. Septic shock, a subset of sepsis, is a severe condition that can possibly occur should sepsis lead to life-threatening hypo tension for a patient. The human body would possess the following attributes if they are in septic shock. Body Attribute Body AttributeContinue reading “The Sepsis Hypothesis”

After countless days we finally decided to contact the competitors in order to find a work around. In contacting us back, we were told that we needed to run their code on a machine that has at least  256 GB of RAM and 20 CPU cores. This was completely crazy since we had no accessContinue reading “The Feedback Alternative”

Still no word from the physician’s yet so we decided to take another crack at running the competition’s model. Their code mainly failed at the data pre-processing stage. We received tons of errors and warnings for improper use of pandas methods on the data frames and spent most of our nights Googling how to fixContinue reading “The Constant Confusion”

After getting advice from our supervisor we took another shot at attempting to run our competitors code . In this run we actually made it past the point that we were last week but it still wasn’t enough. Additionally we contacted a physician for assistance in predicting sepsis . This physician assessed the competitors codeContinue reading “The Competition’s Code Dissonance”

After spending two nights at Bhavesh’s, I have gotten sick as well. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea but we had to get assignments out of the way in addition to working on project Sepsis. This week we all mainly researched heavily into Neural ODEs, LSTMs and RNNs. These models seem tough to implement butContinue reading “The Collaboration Contamination”

Hooray! My account was successfully credentialed upon completion of the CITI Research Ethics course. This allowed me to gain access to the eICU Collaborative Research Database. The database includes vital sign measurements, care plan documentation, severity of illness measures, diagnosis information, and treatment information. While sifting through the database, we found four data sets thatContinue reading “The Data Collection”

As the final semester of my time at The University of The West Indies gears up to start, my best friends and I have decided to undertake the most hardcore, most thrilling project that we have worked on yet. Sepsis is a life-threatening illness caused by your body’s response to an infection. Your immune systemContinue reading “The Research Project Initiation”
