UnDA: Unpaired Domain Alignment for Cross-Modal Knowledge Transfer in Medical Imaging

Multimodal based approaches often outperform single modality approaches in downstream tasks as the different modalities provide complementary information, yet acquiring paired clinical data remains a significant challenge in real world scenarios. While cross-modal knowledge distillation addresses this, existing methods often struggle with large modality gaps and the propagation of noise from uncertain source-domain predictions.

Guided Adversarial Robust Transfer Learning with Source Mixing

Guided Adversarial Robust Transfer (GART) learning is a new transfer learning method that relaxes the requirement for source data to closely resemble the target population. By optimizing an adversarial loss over a mixture of source distributions, GART achieves faster convergence and improved prediction performance when target data are scarce. Experiments on simulated data and on multi‑institutional biobank‑linked electronic health records for high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol demonstrate higher robustness and accuracy compared to existing transfer learning approaches.

Generalized Context in Cross Attention for Transfer Learning of Disjoint Tabular Data

The paper introduces CATTLE, a transfer learning framework for disjoint tabular datasets that eliminates the need for shared features by leveraging generalized context learned through transformer projection weights. By using key, value, and query weights from source and target domains, CATTLE performs cross‑domain attention transfer in a data‑agnostic manner. Experiments on ten source‑target pairs demonstrate that CATTLE outperforms nine state‑of‑the‑art baselines, achieving the best average rank (2.9) and a 3.7% AUROC improvement.
