Medical Heuristic Learning: An LLM-Driven Framework for Interpretable and Auditable Clinical Decision Rules

arXiv:2606. 16337v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Predictive modeling for clinical tabular data is central to clinical decision support and therefore requires not only strong predictive performance but also transparent decision logic.

From Latent Biomarkers to Clinical Rules: Embedding-Guided Rule Mining and Attribution-Based Translation for Interpretable Tabular Learning

The paper introduces a four-step pipeline that mines decision rules in the latent space of an FT-Transformer and then translates those rules back into measurable clinical features. By treating embedding dimensions that separate patient groups as latent biomarkers, small decision trees are used to extract rules, which are then mapped to raw features using gradient-input saliency and CLS attention attribution. Across six public clinical datasets, the translated rules generally outperformed raw-feature rules, achieving significant AUROC gains, though some high-performing latent rules could not be fully captured by simple raw-feature conditions.

GRIN+: Towards Fast Yet Effective Machine Unlearning for Imbalanced Medical Data

GRIN+ is a new machine unlearning framework that targets fast and precise data erasure in imbalanced medical datasets. It separates unlearning‑specific knowledge from general representations by analyzing gradient contributions of forget and retain sets, introduces a class‑adaptive influence scoring to counter gradient dominance, and uses a direction‑constrained update to protect essential clinical knowledge. Benchmarks on skin cancer, brain tumor, and breast ultrasound data show that GRIN+ balances privacy, efficiency, and utility, achieving high diagnostic accuracy and faster runtime than existing methods.

REMEDI: A Benchmark for Retention and Unlearning Evaluation in Multi-label Clinical Disease Inference

arXiv:2606. 07141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models trained for clinical disease inference are trained on patient data, which may include sensitive and private information, and data owners may request the removal of their data from a trained model due to privacy or copyright concerns.
