arXiv:2510. 02625v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Missing data in tabular datasets forces practitioners into a hard choice: deploy a general-purpose imputer that may perform poorly for the problem at hand, or wait for someone to design a specialized algorithm.

arXiv:2607. 05613v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical care often relies on key laboratory indicators, yet real-world patient visits are sparse and tests are ordered irregularly, leading to pervasive missingness.

arXiv:2607. 07725v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Genomic prediction models often fail to transfer across institutions because sequencing panels differ across sites, creating structural feature missingness at deployment.

Missing value imputation is a fundamental task in machine learning, with most existing methods assuming that all missing entries correspond to unobserved regular values. In many real-world datasets, however, missingness may arise from two distinct sources: some entries are meaningfully missing (intrinsically absent and semantically valid), while others are missing due to the observation process and should be imputed.
arXiv:2607. 06930v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Missing data is prevalent in practical applications, making effective imputation an essential preprocessing step for downstream analysis.

arXiv:2606. 06328v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In healthcare, multimodal time series tasks often operate on incomplete observations in practice, for example when ECG segments are lost because electrodes detach or an entire respiratory channel is unavailable during overnight monitoring.

arXiv:2607. 07767v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Missing values undermine statistical inference and machine learning pipelines, yet most imputation methods rely on heuristics or restrictive parametric assumptions that ignore the joint data distribution.

arXiv:2607. 07640v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep learning has significantly advanced time series imputation, yet most existing architectures primarily rely on localized temporal context within the corrupted input sequence.

arXiv:2606. 17106v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Laboratory tests in electronic health records are collected irregularly, and the absence of a test order can be as informative as the measurement itself.
