Abstract

We present an exploration of the encoder-decoder structured Long Short-Term Memory Network (LSTM) as a detector of the anomalous missing observations in streaming medical data by using the difference between the LSTM-reconstructed and observed values as the anomaly detector. We experiment with time-series data from bedside monitoring devices from the available Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care Database (MIMIC). Our results show that not only encoder-decoder LSTM approach works well for detecting the difference between anomalous and normal missing observations in streaming medical data, but also has an imputation potential for the missing data.
