• Abstract summary: We developed Longitudinal Ensemble Integration (LEI) for sequential classification. We evaluated LEI's performance, and compared it against existing approaches, for the early detection of dementia. LEI's design also enabled the identification of features that were consistently important across time for the effective prediction of dementia-related diagnoses.

• Abstract: Effectively modeling multimodal longitudinal data is a pressing need in various application areas, especially biomedicine. Despite this, few approaches exist in the literature for this problem, with most not adequately taking into account the multimodality of the data. In this study, we developed multiple configurations of a novel multimodal and longitudinal learning framework, Longitudinal Ensemble Integration (LEI), for sequential classification. We evaluated LEI's performance, and compared it against existing approaches, for the early detection of dementia, which is among the most studied multimodal sequential classification tasks. LEI outperformed these approaches due to its use of intermediate base predictions arising from the individual data modalities, which enabled their better integration over time. LEI's design also enabled the identification of features that were consistently important across time for the effective prediction of dementia-related diagnoses. Overall, our work demonstrates the potential of LEI for sequential classification from longitudinal multimodal data.

  Cancer prognosis is a critical task that involves predicting patient outcomes and survival rates. Previous studies have integrated diverse data modalities, such as clinical notes, medical images, and genomic data, leveraging their complementary information. Existing approaches face two major limitations. First, they struggle to incorporate newly arrived data with varying distributions into training, such as patient records from different hospitals. Second, most multimodal integration methods rely on simplistic concatenation or task-specific pipelines, which fail to capture the complex interdependencies across modalities.

  We propose a novel Historical-Constrained Large Language Models (HC-LLM) framework for Radiology report generation. Our approach extracts both time-shared and time-specific features from longitudinal chest X-rays and diagnostic reports to capture disease progression. Notably, our approach performs well even without historical data during testing and can be easily adapted to other multimodal large models.

To address the sparsity problem after task splitting, TAML employs a temporal information sharing strategy to augment the number of positive samples. We demonstrate the effectiveness of TAML on multiple clinical datasets, where it consistently outperforms a range of strong baselines.

  We propose an information-theoretic approach to quantify the degree of redundancy, uniqueness, and synergy relating input modalities with an output task. To validate PID estimation, we conduct extensive experiments on both synthetic datasets where the PID is known and on large-scale multimodal benchmarks. We demonstrate their usefulness in (1) quantifying interactions within multimodal datasets, (2) quantifying interactions captured by multimodal models, (3) principled approaches for model selection, and (4) three real-world case studies.
