arXiv:2607. 26752v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical world models aim to learn a latent state of patient or organ physiology and a transition function that forecasts how that state evolves under interventions, supporting downstream tasks from imaging-based diagnosis to digital-twin treatment planning.

arXiv:2608. 15783v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: In transfer-learning settings, a model derived from abundant surrogate labels may be deployed in a target population where gold-standard outcomes are unobserved.

arXiv:2606. 00563v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Selection bias is a common and often unavoidable aspect of real-world data that challenges the generalizability of machine learning models.
By Kara Liu, Maggie Wang, Russ B. Altman
arXiv:2606. 14506v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding how a prediction model will perform in a new environment before deployment is essential to preventing harm when algorithms inform decision-making.
By Annie Ulichney, Amanda Coston
arXiv:2602. 17187v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The problem of domain generalization concerns learning predictive models that are robust to distribution shifts when deployed in new, previously unseen environments.

arXiv:2608. 00632v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern machine learning pipelines increasingly rely on reusing pretrained and foundation models across downstream tasks.
By Yiming Dong, Jiwei Zhao, Yang Young Lu
arXiv:2606. 05258v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Transfer learning is a natural strategy when a target population has limited data but multiple related auxiliary sources are available.

arXiv:2604. 16763v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Causal inference from electronic health records (EHR) is fundamentally limited by unmeasured confounding: critical clinical states such as frailty, goals of care, and mental status are documented in free-text notes but absent from structured data.

arXiv:2608. 08288v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating counterfactual outcomes over time from longitudinal observational data is central to clinical decision support.
By Abisoye Abidakun, Mingjun Zhong, Georgios Leontidis
arXiv:2608. 12477v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical prediction models are often developed as if the outcome of interest were cleanly observed for every patient.

arXiv:2608. 00701v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reweighting source samples to match a target covariate distribution is a standard response to distribution shift when generalizing evidence from one population to another.
By Ying Jin, Ying Jin, Dominik Rothenh\"ausler
arXiv:2607. 23304v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Modern predictive systems are expected to adapt their behavior to the specific situation they are facing.
