PLeDO: Pain Level Detection for Osteoarthritis from EMR Data

arXiv:2608. 15719v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive chronic joint disease resulting in a breakdown of articular cartilage and bone when damaged joint tissues are not able to normally repair themselves.

An interpretable and trustworthy AI framework for large-scale longitudinal structure-pain association studies using data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI)

arXiv:2606. 05357v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Purpose: To develop an interpretable and trustworthy AI framework that combines deep learning based MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score (MOAKS) prediction with interpretable statistical modeling to study structure-pain relationships at scale using data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI).

Methodological and Conceptual Framework for 5D Multi-Table Analysis: A Unified Approach for Complex Data Reuse

The paper introduces the Relational Hypergraph Transformer (RHT), a unified architecture that models relational databases as hypergraphs and learns pentadimensional embeddings (PentE). RHT applies sparse relational attention whose complexity scales with the average relational degree, making it computationally efficient for large, high‑dimensional, and high‑cardinality datasets. Experiments on the Synthea synthetic electronic health record dataset show that RHT produces more semantically coherent embeddings than tabular, relational, and temporal graph baselines, while remaining scalable, and the authors provide an open‑source implementation and plan clinical validation on MIMIC‑IV.

Automatic identification of diagnosis from hospital discharge letters via weakly supervised Natural Language Processing

arXiv:2410. 15051v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Identifying patient diagnoses from hospital discharge letters is essential for large-scale cohort selection and epidemiological research, but traditional supervised approaches require extensive manual annotation, which is often impractical for large textual datasets.

Key Coverage Matters: Semi-Structured Extraction of OCR Clinical Reports

The paper presents a method for extracting key information from OCR‑digitized clinical reports, addressing challenges posed by heterogeneous documents and noisy OCR output. It introduces an open key space that is iteratively mined, normalized, clustered, and verified to build a canonical key inventory, and defines key coverage as a metric for inventory completeness. Experiments on reports from over 20 hospitals using a 0.2B BERT model show that performance improves steadily with key coverage, achieving high F1 scores when the top 90 keys are covered and outperforming a fine‑tuned Qwen3‑0.6B baseline.

Health System Scale Semantic Search Across Unstructured Clinical Notes

arXiv:2604. 25605v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Introduction: Semantic search, which retrieves documents based on conceptual similarity rather than keywords, offers advantages for retrieval of clinical information.
