• Abstract: Representation learning in electronic health records (EHR) has largely followed paradigms inherited from natural language processing, relying on sequence modeling and reconstruction based objectives that treat clinical labels as ground truth. However, real world clinical supervision is inherently weak, arising from heterogeneous, noisy, and institution specific labeling processes such as billing codes, heuristic phenotypes, and incomplete annotations. In this work, we propose WISTERIA, a weakly supervised representation learning framework that models labels as stochastic observations of an underlying latent clinical state. Instead of optimizing against a single supervision signal, WISTERIA constructs multiple weak supervision operators and learns representations by enforcing consistency across their induced label distributions. This multi view formulation induces an implicit denoising mechanism, allowing the model to recover clinically meaningful structure by reconciling disagreement between noisy labelers. We further incorporate ontology aware regularization in the label space to impose semantic structure over supervision signals. Empirically, WISTERIA improves predictive performance across standard EHR benchmarks, demonstrates strong robustness to label noise, and exhibits superior cross institutional generalization compared to sequence based pretraining objectives. These results suggest that explicitly modeling the supervision process rather than treating labels as fixed targets provides a more appropriate inductive bias for learning robust and clinically meaningful representations from EHR data.
