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.

Fed-ReMasker is a federated learning approach that adapts the ReMasker masked autoencoder for tabular data imputation, specifically addressing feature-level missingness where entire features are absent at some centers. The method enables centers to impute unobserved features by leveraging knowledge from collaborating institutions. In benchmark tests on synthetic and real-world datasets, Fed-ReMasker achieves the lowest imputation error in the majority of scenarios and remains robust to client heterogeneity, closely matching the performance of a centralized model.

SAGE (Subpopulation-Aware Generative Enhancement) is a two-stage generative augmentation framework designed to mitigate spurious correlations in machine learning when group labels are unavailable. It uses cluster-derived sub-labels and class labels to fine‑tune a conditional generative model and text encoder, producing synthetic data that fills underrepresented regions and creates a balanced validation set for last‑layer reweighting. Experiments show SAGE improves worst‑group accuracy to 89.5%, 85.7%, and 79.1% on Waterbirds, CelebA, and MetaShift, outperforming existing group‑label‑free baselines by up to 7.7 percentage points.
