HoT-SSM:Higher-order Temporal Knowledge Graph Reasoning with State Space Models for Health Care

arXiv:2606.05994v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Medical knowledge graphs (MKGs) infused with clinical knowledge have been increasingly used to model electronic health records (EHRs) to support interpretable predictions in healthcare domain. However, existing MKG-based approaches are limited in capturing pairwise relations between clinical concepts (e.g., conditions, procedures, and medications), and restricts their ability to model higher-order interactions among co-occurring or semantically related concepts. In addition, most representation learning methods that leverage MKGs either collapse

Why this matters
Why now

The proliferation of medical knowledge graphs and the recognition of limitations in current AI models for capturing complex clinical relationships are driving research into higher-order reasoning methods.

Why it’s important

Advanced AI models capable of nuanced interpretation of electronic health records can lead to more accurate diagnoses, personalized treatments, and improved healthcare efficiency, impacting patient outcomes and operational costs.

What changes

The ability of AI systems to move beyond simple pairwise relations in medical data to model complex, higher-order interactions changes how medical knowledge is leveraged for predictive analytics and clinical decision support.
