The paper introduces Hyperbolic Clinical Ontology Embeddings (HCOE), a method that transforms frozen BioBERT embeddings into a Poincaré ball to capture medical code hierarchies. HCOE employs ontology-guided contrastive learning and coarse‑to‑fine ontology‑path aggregation, leveraging ICD, CCS, and ATC hierarchies. Experiments on MIMIC‑IV demonstrate superior performance in clinical relation prediction, hierarchy transfer, and various predictive tasks such as mortality, readmission, medication recommendation, and rare drug prediction.

The paper proposes a behavior-based fusion model that combines large language models (LLMs) with ontology rankers to improve rare-disease diagnosis. By examining ranked lists, agreement, and ontology support, the model learns how much to rely on each system per case, achieving significant recall gains on Phenopacket Store and RAMEDIS benchmarks. Importantly, the fused diagnoses retain candidate-level ontology evidence for inspection.
