Learning Survival Distribution with Implicit Survival Function
Survival analysis aims at modeling the relationship between covariates and event occurrence with some untracked (censored) samples. In implementation, existing methods model the survival distribution with strong assumptions or in a discrete time space for likelihood estimation with censorship, which leads to weak generalization. In this paper, we propose Implicit Survival Function (ISF) based on Implicit Neural Representation for survival distribution estimation without strong assumptions,and employ numerical integration to approximate the cumulative distribution function for prediction and optimization. Experimental results show that ISF outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in three public datasets and has robustness to the hyperparameter controlling estimation precision.

ICTSurF: Implicit Continuous-Time Survival Functions with Neural Networks
Survival analysis is a widely known method for predicting the likelihood of an event over time. The challenge of dealing with censored samples still remains. Traditional methods, such as the Cox Proportional Hazards (CPH…
Survival AnalysisCopula-Based Deep Survival Models for Dependent Censoring
A survival dataset describes a set of instances (e.g. patients) and provides, for each, either the time until an event (e.g. death), or the censoring time (e.g. when lost to follow-up - which is a lower bound on the time…

This article analyzes the problem of estimating the time until an event occurs, also known as survival modeling. We observe through substantial experiments on large real-world datasets and use-cases that populations are …
Counterfactual explanation of machine learning survival models
A method for counterfactual explanation of machine learning survival models is proposed. One of the difficulties of solving the counterfactual explanation problem is that the classes of examples are implicitly defined th…
