Cardiac Imaging of Aortic Valve Area From 34 287 UK Biobank Participants Reveals Novel Genetic Associations and Shared Genetic Comorbidity With Multiple Disease Phenotypes
Background: The aortic valve is an important determinant of cardiovascular physiology and anatomic location of common human diseases. Methods: From a sample of 34 287 white British ancestry participants, we estimated functional aortic valve area by planimetry from prospectively obtained cardiac magnetic resonance imaging sequences of the aortic valve. Aortic valve area measurements were submitted to genome-wide association testing, followed by polygenic risk scoring and phenome-wide screening, to identify genetic comorbidities. Results: A genome-wide association study of aortic valve area in these UK Biobank participants showed 3 significant associations, indexed by rs71190365 (chr13:50764607, DLEU1, P=1.8×10−9), rs35991305 (chr12:94191968, CRADD, P=3.4×10−8), and chr17:45013271:C:T...

Selecting Auxiliary Data Using Knowledge Graphs for Image Classification with Limited Labels
In this paper, we propose a learning algorithm for training deep neural networks when there is not sufficient labeled data. To improve the generalization capabilities of the deep model, we adopt a learning scheme to train two related tasks simultaneously. One is the original task (target), and the other is an auxiliary task (source). In order to create a related auxiliary task, we leverage an available knowledge graph to query for semantically related concepts that are grounded in labeled images; hence we call our method KGAuxLearn. We jointly train the target and source tasks in a multi-task architecture. We evaluate...

Measure what matters: Counts of hospitalized patients are a better metric for health system capacity planning for a reopening
Objective: Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic requires accurate forecasting of health system capacity requirements using readily available inputs. We examined whether testing and hospitalization data could help quantify the anticipated burden on the health system given shelter-in-place (SIP) order. Materials and Methods: 16,103 SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR tests were performed on 15,807 patients at Stanford facilities between March 2 and April 11, 2020. We analyzed the fraction of tested patients that were confirmed positive for COVID-19, the fraction of those needing hospitalization, and the fraction requiring ICU admission over the 40 days between March 2nd and April 11th 2020. Results: We find...

Estimating the efficacy of symptom-based screening for COVID-19
There is substantial interest in using presenting symptoms to prioritize testing for COVID-19 and establish symptom-based surveillance. However, little is currently known about the specificity of COVID-19 symptoms. To assess the feasibility of symptom-based screening for COVID-19, we used data from tests for common respiratory viruses and SARS-CoV-2 in our health system to measure the ability to correctly classify virus test results based on presenting symptoms. Based on these results, symptom-based screening may not be an effective strategy to identify individuals who should be tested for SARS-CoV-2 infection or to obtain a leading indicator of new COVID-19 cases.

Low-Dimensional Hyperbolic Knowledge Graph Embeddings
Knowledge graph (KG) embeddings learn lowdimensional representations of entities and relations to predict missing facts. KGs often exhibit hierarchical and logical patterns which must be preserved in the embedding space. For hierarchical data, hyperbolic embedding methods have shown promise for high-fidelity and parsimonious representations. However, existing hyperbolic embedding methods do not account for the rich logical patterns in KGs. In this work, we introduce a class of hyperbolic KG embedding models that simultaneously capture hierarchical and logical patterns. Our approach combines hyperbolic reflections and rotations with attention to model complex relational patterns. Experimental results on standard KG benchmarks show that...

Learning Physical Graph Representations from Visual Scenes
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have proved exceptional at learning representations for visual object categorization. However, CNNs do not explicitly encode objects, parts, and their physical properties, which has limited CNNs’ success on tasks that require structured understanding of visual scenes. To overcome these limitations, we introduce the idea of “Physical Scene Graphs” (PSGs), which represent scenes as hierarchical graphs, with nodes in the hierarchy corresponding intuitively to object parts at different scales, and edges to physical connections between parts. Bound to each node is a vector of latent attributes that intuitively represent object properties such as surface shape and texture....
