Interpretable Multi-Instance Learning Enables Early Prediction of Key Molecular Alterations from Routine Flow Cytometry in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

An interpretable multi‑instance learning classifier based on a decision tree was developed to predict NPM1 and FLT3‑ITD mutations in acute myeloid leukemia using routine flow cytometry data. In cross‑validation on 197 patients, the model achieved AUROCs of 0.96 for NPM1 and 0.86 for FLT3‑ITD, outperforming a clinical baseline and matching deep learning methods. On an independent cohort of 161 patients, it maintained high performance with AUROCs of 0.90 and 0.82, and positive predictive values of 0.87 and 0.68, while cell‑level interpretation recovered known immunophenotypic signatures.

Benchmarking Active Spot Selection for Cost-Efficient Spatial Transcriptomics

The study benchmarks active spot selection methods against random sampling for spatial transcriptomics, focusing on cost‑efficient data acquisition. Using two public cohorts, the authors simulate multi‑round selection with uncertainty‑based (MC‑dropout, TOD) and diversity‑based (CoreSet, TypiClust) strategies, evaluating performance at 5%, 10%, 30%, and 50% of the spot pool. Results show that none of the active strategies consistently outperforms random sampling across all budgets or evaluation metrics, with performance varying by dataset and metric.

CoMedBench: A Multi-Source Benchmark of Synthetic Medical Data Fidelity and Downstream Utility

arXiv:2608. 12805v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Access to clinical data is essential for developing reliable healthcare machine learning systems, but direct use of electronic health records is constrained by privacy regulation, institutional review, data-use agreements, and the risk of re-identification.

Can You Trust Frozen Hematology Foundation Models under Acquisition Shift?

The study evaluates 15 frozen hematology foundation-model embeddings across four single‑cell acquisition domains, finding that while in‑domain accuracy is near‑saturated (macro‑F1 0.98–0.997), cross‑dataset performance drops dramatically (34–72%) and model rankings shift. Probe‑dependent rank transfer is observed, with 1‑NN retrieval more stable than linear heads, yet neither reliably predicts target robustness. Calibration deteriorates off‑domain (ECE rises from 0.004 to 0.35), and exposure to internal cohorts confounds shift analysis; a training‑free pseudo‑label‑balanced feature normalization (CBR) modestly improves target‑prior robustness and calibration. whyItMatters":"The findings highlight that frozen hematology foundation models, though accurate in‑domain, may fail under realistic scanner, site, and class‑prior shifts, underscoring the need for comprehensive audits of accuracy, calibration, exposure, and robustness before clinical deployment."

OncoTraj: a public benchmark for longitudinal resistance prediction in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer on osimertinib

arXiv:2606. 11144v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Resistance to first-line osimertinib in EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the canonical example of predictable clonal evolution under therapeutic pressure, yet no public benchmark exists for training or evaluating computational models on the corresponding longitudinal patient trajectories.
