arXiv:2606. 15447v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electronic health record foundation models typically treat ICD diagnosis codes as flat tokens, overlooking the clinically meaningful hierarchical structure that captures disease families, subcategories, and fine-grained diagnostic detail.

The paper introduces a four-step pipeline that mines decision rules in the latent space of an FT-Transformer and then translates those rules back into measurable clinical features. By treating embedding dimensions that separate patient groups as latent biomarkers, small decision trees are used to extract rules, which are then mapped to raw features using gradient-input saliency and CLS attention attribution. Across six public clinical datasets, the translated rules generally outperformed raw-feature rules, achieving significant AUROC gains, though some high-performing latent rules could not be fully captured by simple raw-feature conditions.

CoLa-ICD is a knowledge‑enhanced framework designed to improve automatic medical coding of ICD codes in long, imbalanced clinical documents. It enriches ICD labels with external terms, models dependencies among related codes, and strengthens the alignment between label semantics and clinical evidence, particularly for rare codes. Experiments demonstrate that CoLa-ICD achieves state‑of‑the‑art performance in AUC, F1, and P@k, with larger gains in larger and sparser label spaces.
