LUNG-KGMM: Knowledge-Guided Multimodal Learning for Lung Cancer Incidence Prediction

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2608. 14657v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Early identification of lung cancer risk is critical for timely intervention, yet existing prediction models are limited by their reliance on single data modalities and their inability to leverage structured clinical knowledge.

Real-World Multi-Modal and Longitudinal Lung Cancer Dataset

The paper presents a newly curated, multi-center, multi-modal, and longitudinal lung cancer dataset comprising 1,365 patients with whole-slide images, CT scans, PET scans, structured clinical data, transcriptomics, and follow-up information. The dataset features substantial, non-uniform missingness across modalities, making it ideal for evaluating robust multi-modal fusion strategies. Benchmarks on 12‑month overall survival, disease‑specific survival, and longitudinal hazard prediction demonstrate that integrating complementary modalities consistently outperforms uni-modal approaches, even under severe missing data.

Trajectory-Aware Clinical Risk Prediction via Severity-Grounded Knowledge Graphs and Retrieval-Augmented Generation

arXiv:2607. 18270v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While Electronic Health Records (EHRs) offer a wealth of clinical data, effectively augmenting a patient's records with heterogeneous external knowledge to predict the patient's clinical risk remains a significant challenge.

Personalized Treatment Outcome Prediction from Scarce Data via Dual-Channel Knowledge Distillation and Adaptive Fusion

The paper introduces CFKD-AFN, a cross‑fidelity knowledge distillation and adaptive fusion network that uses abundant low‑fidelity simulation data to improve personalized treatment outcome predictions from scarce high‑fidelity trial data. The dual‑channel distillation module extracts complementary knowledge from the low‑fidelity model, while an attention‑guided fusion module adaptively integrates multi‑source information. Experiments on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease data demonstrate significant reductions in mean squared error (6.67%–74.55%) and mean absolute percentage error (1.43%–51.54%) compared to competing methods, and the framework can be extended to an interpretable variant for feature‑attribution analysis.
