Same here, especially since I am working on the same problem and in fact also plan to try out denoising autoencoders to reduce the sparse EMR data into more learnable features. I am also using NLP on the medical notes to generate additional features. It is good to see promising results from these approaches. I will read this paper closely tomorrow but from what I have skimmed it looks well written.
