Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the authors; serious errors had been introduced within the data set presented and, as such, the authors have decided to retract the paper. Error summary is outlined below: 1. The dataset was divided into training set, validation set and testing set. The training set and validation set were used to tune the parameter. According to the authors this is an overfitting and can mislead the readers. 2. The compared baselines are not strong enough for fair comparison. The code was not requested from the original authors, but algorithms have been implemented. 3. The bag of words model is not trained suitably. The model was trained with the used dataset and the performance has been evaluated on this dataset. Authors think this is an overfitting and makes the comparison untrustworthy.

Keywords: Diagnosis labeling; Disease-specific features; ICU medical data minings.
