arXiv:2608. 05203v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine learning models achieve strong predictive accuracy for 90-day outcome prediction in acute ischaemic stroke, yet clinical adoption is limited by the misalignment of model explanations with clinicians' reasoning.
Brain stroke, known for its high mortality and incidence rates, poses significant health risks and requires rapid intervention for survival. Early diagnosis and preventive measures can greatly reduce...
The paper presents an intelligent system that predicts stroke risk using eleven clinical features and evaluates seven supervised machine learning algorithms. Ensemble methods—Random Forest, Stacking Classifier, and Bagging Classifier—achieved the highest accuracies, reaching 99.52%, while other models such as KNN, TabNet, and a custom feedforward network also performed well. The study demonstrates that ensemble approaches are particularly effective for stroke classification tasks.
arXiv:2501. 00048v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Every year in the United States, 800,000 individuals suffer a stroke - one person every 40 seconds, with a death occurring every four minutes.
The study develops a 1‑D ResNet classifier that uses a fixed 17‑channel hemodynamic representation derived from photoplethysmography (PPG) to predict in‑hospital stroke risk states up to six hours before clinical recognition. Using data from MIMIC‑III and MC‑MED, the model achieved F1‑scores ranging from 0.7956 to 0.9888 across 4‑, 5‑, and 6‑hour horizons, outperforming four non‑waveform clinical and structured‑EHR comparators in all cohort‑horizon settings. Retrospective analysis showed that the PPG model’s false‑positive rates on high‑risk non‑stroke controls could be reduced through persistence aggregation, though the study does not establish a calibrated bedside alarm or a clinically validated prediction lead time.

The paper introduces the General Demographic Pre-trained (GDP) model, a lightweight foundation model that learns representations from the two most common clinical attributes—age and sex. By optimizing encoding and visit‑reordering strategies, GDP embeddings are shown to improve predictive performance when concatenated with raw features across various disease and geographic cohorts. The model outperforms several state‑of‑the‑art tabular foundation models and tree‑based algorithms, demonstrating that enriched demographic embeddings can enhance classification tasks while remaining fully compatible with standard classifiers.
The paper introduces a statistically grounded framework for interpretable, rule-based clinical classification using Bernoulli Naïve Bayes (BNB). It employs supervised chi‑square‑guided binarization to convert continuous medical variables into binary indicators, enabling BNB to handle continuous data while maintaining transparency. On three benchmark datasets—Pima Indians Diabetes, Wisconsin Breast Cancer, and Heart Failure Prediction—the method achieved AUCs of 0.800, 0.984, and 0.919, respectively, and demonstrated reliable probability calibration through cross‑validated analysis and post‑hoc beta calibration.
