Primal--Dual Alternating Neural Learning for Timely Classification with Performance Guarantees

The paper introduces a new method for timely risk classification in clinical monitoring, framing the problem as a multi‑objective optimization that balances early classification, sensitivity, specificity, and monitoring cost. It derives an optimal decision rule via a value recursion and estimates it from data using a recurrent neural network combined with a primal–dual updating scheme to enforce performance constraints. Experiments, including a case study on continuous glucose monitoring for hypoglycemia prediction, show that the approach produces accurate, timely decision rules that meet the specified operating characteristics.

SynPre-FL: Synthetic data-driven pretraining integrated Federated Learning training framework

arXiv:2607. 19524v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Federated learning (FL) offers a promising approach to privacy-preserving clinical risk prediction, but its deployment remains limited by restricted data sharing, client heterogeneity, class imbalance, and the lack of realistic tabular electronic health record (EHR) benchmarks.
