FedCoRe is a federated learning framework that addresses missing modalities in healthcare by learning representation- or logit-space corrections instead of generating synthetic data. In a MIMIC-derived respiratory deterioration task, the method uses paired examples where a modality is present during training but may be absent at deployment, allowing only those clients to update the completion module. Experiments show that FedCoRe can recover roughly half of the performance lost when ECG or CXR data are hidden, but the framework should only be deployed when paired examples and validation evidence confirm the modality’s presence.

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.
