The paper introduces UdonCare, a hierarchy‑pruning method that iteratively partitions patients into latent domains using medical ontologies, aiming to improve domain generalization in clinical prediction tasks. It addresses challenges of missing domain labels and lack of clinical insight by discovering hierarchy‑grounded patient domains. Experiments on MIMIC‑III, MIMIC‑IV, and eICU datasets show UdonCare outperforms eight baseline methods across four prediction tasks with significant domain gaps.
arXiv:2602. 12542v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deep learning models for clinical event prediction on electronic health records (EHR) often suffer performance degradation when deployed under different data distributions.

arXiv:2606. 15447v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electronic health record foundation models typically treat ICD diagnosis codes as flat tokens, overlooking the clinically meaningful hierarchical structure that captures disease families, subcategories, and fine-grained diagnostic detail.
arXiv:2608. 04144v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomedical entity linking grounds mentions in clinical and scientific text to entities in a curated knowledge base (KB) with ontological structure, which supports downstream applications such as literature-scale information extraction and patient-record normalization.
arXiv:2605. 30295v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) show promise for clinical reasoning and decision support, but evaluation in realistic, electronic health record-congruent settings remains limited.
arXiv:2607. 00147v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Rare disease differential diagnosis is a critical yet arduous clinical task, requiring physicians to identify precise phenotypes from complex, unstructured patient symptoms and execute intricate reasoning within a vast search space.
arXiv:2606. 31171v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Acquiring comprehensive cross-domain biomedical profiles is often costly and time-consuming, resulting in severe data scarcity in medical research.
The paper investigates hyperbolic graph representation learning applied to biomedical knowledge graphs for Mendelian-disease differential diagnosis. It shows that hyperbolic embeddings outperform Euclidean baselines on isolated ontology subgraphs while requiring fewer dimensions. In a link-prediction task, hyperbolic models rank candidate diseases for patients, indicating they can leverage hierarchical structure in heterogeneous patient-level graphs.
arXiv:2607. 18270v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Electronic Health Records (EHRs) offer a wealth of clinical data, effectively augmenting a patient's records with heterogeneous external knowledge to predict the patient's clinical risk remains a significant challenge.
arXiv:2605. 01189v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Clinical AI adoption is hindered by the black-box/grey-box nature of high-performing models, which lack the ontological grounding and narrative transparency required for professional-level explainability.
