• Abstract: Computational models of blood clotting improve understanding of thrombus formation, but their clinical application remains limited because many model inputs are difficult to measure and patient-specific data are often sparse. We present a computational framework based on latent neural differential equations that infers unknown model parameters from sparse measurements and forecasts thrombosis progression. We demonstrate the framework using data generated from a multiphysics blood-clotting model in which clot growth is governed by the coagulation cascade and diffusion. Four known biochemical inputs (fibrinogen and factors IX, VIII, and V), together with sparse early clot-size observations, are used to infer the tissue-factor parameter and predict subsequent clot growth. We compare seven probabilistic methods: stochastic neural ordinary differential equations (SNODE), stochastic neural functional differential equations (SNFDE), a latent neural-process baseline, a monotone probabilistic deep ensemble, empirical trajectory retrieval, PCA-ridge Gaussian posterior, and Gompertz-curve retrieval. SNODE achieved the best performance in inferring the unknown input and forecasting future clot-growth trajectories. SNFDE performed similarly and consistently outperformed the other non-differential models. Prediction accuracy improved as more observations became available, whereas longer forecasting horizons increased uncertainty and decreased accuracy. Latent neural differential equations thus effectively combine parameter inference and clot-growth forecasting from sparse measurements, providing a promising foundation for personalized thrombosis modeling.

  Regularization of neural networks (e.g. dropout) is a widespread technique in deep learning that allows for better generalization. We show that data augmentation during the training improves the performance of both deterministic and versions of the same model. However, the improvements obtained by the data augmentation completely eliminate the empirical regularization gains, making the performance of neural ODE and neural SDE negligible.
