REFINE: LLM Refinement over Budgeted Text-Attributed Graphs for Personalized Medical Concept Representation

REFINE is a framework that refines medical concept representations by creating patient‑specific temporal graphs from a global text‑attributed knowledge graph. It uses a reinforcement learning policy to allocate a personalized graph expansion budget for each observed code, then processes the resulting graph with a heterogeneous GNN and a frozen LLM that refines representations via graph‑aware soft prompts. Experiments on MIMIC‑III and MIMIC‑IV demonstrate that REFINE consistently improves various EHR prediction backbones, surpasses strong baselines, and shows robust gains across ablation studies, KG selection, and data insufficiency scenarios.

HERMES: Contrast-Aware Knowledge Graph Reasoning from Clinical Notes for Patient Outcome Prediction

HERMES is a graph-based framework that uses only clinical text to predict patient outcomes. It builds personalized Knowledge Graphs from clinical notes via Large‑Language‑Model‑guided extraction and Contrastive Logic Modeling, capturing temporal dynamics and treatment changes. A Graph Attention Network then synthesizes patient representations, and experiments on MIMIC‑III and MIMIC‑IV show HERMES outperforms text‑only baselines for in‑hospital mortality and 30‑day readmission prediction.

Toward Federated Multimodal Graph Foundation Models: A Topology-Aware Multimodal Alignment Framework

arXiv:2607. 15687v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal-attributed graphs (MAGs), whose nodes carry modalities such as images and text alongside topological structure, now pervade applications including social platforms, e-commerce, and biomedical networks, offering richer semantic signals than single-modality graphs.

MedFG-VQA: Low-Frequency Memory and Graph Attention for Lightweight Medical VQA

MedFG-VQA is a lightweight medical visual question answering framework that uses a memory bank to enhance low‑frequency DCT features and graph‑enhanced cross‑attention for visual‑textual alignment. It introduces Frequency‑Memory Fusion to retrieve and fuse low‑frequency information from a learnable memory bank, and Graph‑Aware Cross‑Attention to refine cross‑modal features via graph convolution. The authors also create SynMed‑VQA, a synthetic dataset of over 2 million QA pairs across nine imaging modalities, and show that MedFG‑VQA matches or outperforms larger models on several biomedical VQA benchmarks while keeping computational costs low.
