arXiv:2606.07677v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Electronic health records (EHR) pose large-scale multi-disease modeling problems in which many outcomes are rare and strongly influenced by shared risk factors. While modern approaches achieve strong predictive performance, they often treat diseases independently or rely on black-box architectures, offering limited insight into how risk factors organize disease risk and little principled uncertainty quantification. We introduce a Bayesian hypergraph inference framework that reframes multi-disease modeling around latent, risk-factor-modulated di
The proliferation of electronic health records and the increasing demand for interpretable AI in sensitive domains like healthcare are driving innovation in methodologies that offer both predictive power and transparency.
This development allows for a more nuanced understanding of disease pathways and risk factors, moving beyond black-box AI models towards interpretable and quantifiable insights in multi-disease modeling.
Healthcare AI could shift from primarily predictive tools to diagnostic and prognostic models that provide explicit, disentangled explanations for disease risk at an individual and population level.
