Training the RI-ICD model. Word w4 occurs in a note that is part of a care episode labeled with the ICD-10 code J21.1. Its context vector C w 4 ⃗ is therefore updated by adding the index vector for the code J21.1. This context vector is constructed from the weighted sum of index vectors of its parts: ∑ I ⃗ = ( 0 . 125 Ă— I J ⃗ ) + ( 0 . 25 Ă— I J 2 ⃗ ) + ( 0 . 5 Ă— I J 21 ⃗ ) + ( 1 . 0 Ă— I J 21 . 1 ⃗ ) . As a result, w4's context vector becomes more strongly associated with the code J21.1 and - to a lesser degree - with all superclasses of J21.1 in the ICD-10 taxonomy. The same update is applied to the context vectors of all other words in care episodes labeled as J21.1.
