Deep learning-based computed tomography (CT) derived body composition classifier for colorectal cancer patients

arXiv:2608. 15712v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Background: Accurate body composition analysis using Computed Tomography (CT) scans is essential for assessing skeletal muscle area (SMA) and skeletal muscle density (SMD), key markers of nutritional status in cancer patients.

Differentiable latent structure discovery for interpretable forecasting in clinical time series

arXiv:2604. 27967v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Background: We introduce StructGP, a continuous-time multi-task Gaussian process that couples process convolutions with differentiable structure learning to uncover a sparse, ordered directed acyclic graph (DAG) of inter-variable dependencies while preserving principled uncertainty.

Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning with Application to Alzheimer's Disease Prediction

The paper introduces Explainable Graph-theoretical Machine Learning (XGML) to build individual metabolic brain graphs from FDG-PET data and identify subgraphs predictive of multivariate Alzheimer’s disease outcomes. Using ADNI data, the best model—kernel density estimation with Hellinger distance and random forest—achieved a Pearson correlation of 0.595 across eight cognitive scores, with the highest performance on ADAS13, ADAS11, and ADASQ4. Key edges were found to be jointly but differentially predictive, indicating potential network biomarkers for cognitive decline, though external validation on OASIS3 showed weaker performance likely due to cohort differences.

FemWear: A Parameter-Efficient Wearable Foundation Model for Women's Health

FemWear is a parameter‑efficient wearable foundation model specifically tailored for women's health. It repurposes a pretrained multimodal wearable backbone by training only 239,236 encoder parameters—just 1.11% of the original 21.54M—using low‑rank residual adapters and causal task‑family heads to create a shared longitudinal representation for menstrual, symptom, affective, sleep/recovery, autonomic, activity, and pregnancy outcomes. Evaluations across six cohorts and 63 metrics show improvements in cycle‑phase macro‑F1 and reductions in mean absolute error for cramps, mood symptoms, and sleep problems, while maintaining the OpenMHC ability‑retention benchmark.
