Hierarchical MoE for Multi-Modal ILD Diagnosis

The paper introduces a hierarchical multimodal mixture-of-experts (MoE) model for interstitial lung disease (ILD) classification. It combines a frozen, pre‑trained imaging expert with structured electronic health records (EHR) through a two‑stage gating system: a modality‑level gate weights imaging and EHR predictions, while a sub‑gating module further decomposes the EHR branch into clinically defined feature groups with learned, group‑specific contributions. The approach preserves stable imaging representations, allows input‑dependent clinical weighting, and enhances interpretability across anatomical regions, imaging–EHR utilization, and EHR feature groups, achieving the highest mean AUC (0.8750 ± 0.0443) under strict patient‑level cross‑validation.

Generalist-Specialist Mixture-of-Experts for Rare Pathology Detection in Multimodal Imaging

The paper introduces Generalist‑Specialist Mixture‑of‑Experts (GS‑MoE), a two‑branch architecture that combines a cross‑modal generalist model with modality‑specific specialists through domain‑constrained feature fusion. GS‑MoE improves detection of rare pathologies in multimodal medical imaging, achieving significant per‑class F1 gains and outperforming dense and specialist‑only MoE baselines while using about 53% fewer active parameters at inference. The study demonstrates that balancing cross‑modal shared representations with expert routing can enhance performance on low‑prevalence conditions.

Primary ICD Category Prediction using LLM-based Probing

arXiv:2606. 28798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: ICD codes are central to reimbursement, research, and population health surveillance, yet automated coding systems often struggle to integrate diagnostic signals from both clinical narratives and structured electronic health record (EHR) variables.

MoPET: Parameter-Efficient Mixture-of-Experts for Unified Medical Image Classification

arXiv:2607. 29462v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Adapting deep learning models to profound clinical heterogeneity typically relies on parameter-efficient fine-tuning (PEFT) to avoid the severe overfitting associated with full end-to-end network updates.

Real-World Multi-Modal and Longitudinal Lung Cancer Dataset

The paper presents a newly curated, multi-center, multi-modal, and longitudinal lung cancer dataset comprising 1,365 patients with whole-slide images, CT scans, PET scans, structured clinical data, transcriptomics, and follow-up information. The dataset features substantial, non-uniform missingness across modalities, making it ideal for evaluating robust multi-modal fusion strategies. Benchmarks on 12‑month overall survival, disease‑specific survival, and longitudinal hazard prediction demonstrate that integrating complementary modalities consistently outperforms uni-modal approaches, even under severe missing data.

MedMix: Specialization-Consistent Federated Sparse MoEs under Modality Heterogeneity

arXiv:2608. 13911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Federated multimodal medical AI faces modality heterogeneity at both the client and sample levels: clients may systematically lack access to specific modality types, while individual records within the same client may contain different partial modality subsets.
