Capture Timing-Attention of Events in Clinical Time Series

arXiv:2602. 10385v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The contemporary paradigm of trajectory learning operates fundamentally at the level of group dynamics, systematically reducing individual-level complexity to fit group-level models, thus rendering effective patient subtyping difficult and individual-level modeling largely out of reach.

A time-series classification framework for individual-level absenteeism prediction under severe class imbalance

arXiv:2606. 31532v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Staff absenteeism imposes substantial operational costs in high-demand work environments such as healthcare, emergency services, meat processing, construction, and courier and delivery services, where proactive workforce planning depends on reliable individual-level absence prediction.

Tabular Foundation Models Can Do Survival Analysis

arXiv:2601. 22259v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: While tabular foundation models have achieved remarkable success in classification and regression, adapting them to model time-to-event outcomes for survival analysis is non-trivial due to right-censoring, where data observations may end before the event of interest occurs.

Continuous-Time Machine Learning: A Unified Mathematical Perspective

The paper surveys continuous‑time (CT) machine learning, a framework for modeling temporal dynamics as continuous processes, especially useful when data are sampled irregularly or over long horizons. It introduces a unified taxonomy that groups major CT methods by their underlying mathematical formulations and shows how different architectural choices—such as vector‑field parameterization, stochasticity, memory mechanisms, and discretization—relate these families. The survey compares training algorithms, optimization strategies, failure modes, computational complexity, and benchmarks, reviews supporting software ecosystems, and outlines open challenges and future research directions.
