This research presents an examination of categorizing the severity states of patients based on their electronic health records during a certain time range using multiple machine learning and deep learning approaches. The suggested method uses an EHR dataset collected from an open-source platform to categorize severity. Some tools were used in this research, such as openRefine was used to pre-process, RapidMiner was used for implementing three algorithms (Fast Large Margin, Generalized Linear Model, Multi-layer Feed-forward Neural Network) and Tableau was used to visualize the data, for implementation of algorithms we used Google Colab. Here we implemented several supervised and unsupervised algorithms along with semi-supervised and deep learning algorithms. The experimental results reveal that hyperparameter-tuned Random Forest outperformed all the other supervised machine learning algorithms with 76% accuracy as well as Generalized Linear algorithm achieved the highest precision score 78%, whereas the hyperparameter-tuned Hierarchical Clustering with 86% precision score and Gaussian Mixture Model with 61% accuracy outperformed other unsupervised approaches. Dimensionality Reduction improved results a lot for most unsupervised techniques. For implementing Deep Learning we employed a feed-forward neural network (multi-layer) and the Fast Large Margin approach for semi-supervised learning. The Fast Large Margin performed really well with a recall score of 84% and an F1 score of 78%. Finally, the Multi-layer Feed-forward Neural Network performed admirably with 75% accuracy, 75% precision, 87% recall, 81% F1 score.
