arXiv:2606. 28798v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective: ICD codes are central to reimbursement, research, and population health surveillance, yet automated coding systems often struggle to integrate diagnostic signals from both clinical narratives and structured electronic health record (EHR) variables.
arXiv:2607. 15380v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electronic health records combine free-text clinical narratives with structured measurements such as vital signs, laboratory values, and comorbidities.
arXiv:2606. 24102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most electronic health record (EHR) foundation models encode clinical events as discrete event tokens from a fixed vocabulary and therefore cannot directly represent events containing unseen concepts or new combinations of concepts and attributes such as numeric values.
arXiv:2607. 09982v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Electronic health record (EHR) data are inherently multimodal, and leveraging multiple modalities can improve predictive performance.
arXiv:2607. 01814v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis, particularly through tongue inspection, faces persistent challenges in subjectivity and reproducibility.
arXiv:2607. 21496v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cognitive impairment (CI) is a growing public health concern.
arXiv:2609.13874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal clinical AI typically assumes that the waveform, report, metadata, and downstream predictions attached to a record belong to the same patien...
arXiv:2607. 22264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Autoregressive foundation models trained on tokenized electronic health records (EHRs) can support zero-shot clinical prediction, yet most operate on structured event codes alone, and do not incorporate multiple modalities in a principled way.
MultiSigBERT is a unified framework that performs multimodal sequential survival modeling in oncology by integrating narrative clinical reports, numerical measurements, and structured variables. The method converts free-text reports into sentence embeddings, compresses them with modality-specific PCA, and concatenates them with structured covariates to create joint temporal trajectories. These trajectories are encoded using the Signature transform from Rough Paths theory, and the resulting high-dimensional features are fed into a LASSO-regularized Cox model, achieving a concordance index of 0.743 on an independent test set of over 2,500 patients.
This study benchmarks transformer models for Bangla medical named entity recognition (NER), comparing BanglaBERT, multilingual BERT (mBERT), XLM‑RoBERTa, and GPT‑4o mini under zero‑shot and few‑shot prompting. Across a full test set of 3,179 samples, fine‑tuned XLM‑RoBERTa achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art F1‑score of 0.5959, while BanglaBERT lags with 0.4937, suggesting that domain diversity outweighs language specificity. The analysis shows high performance on Medicine and Specialist entities (F1 > 0.83) but lower accuracy on Symptoms (F1 0.4367), and demonstrates that fine‑tuned transformers outperform prompt‑only approaches by a factor of 3.76.
arXiv:2608.22323v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The application of Large Language Models (LLMs) to diagnostic decision-making has garnered growing interest. However, existing benchmarks largely focus...
arXiv:2607. 25933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Clinical diagnostic evaluation should not only assess whether models can provide correct diagnoses, but also reflect the realities of clinical practice, including progressive disclosure of multimodal information, dynamic updating of diagnostic hypotheses, and continuous refinement of clinical reasoning.
