Representation learning to advance multi-institutional studies with electronic health record data from US and France

arXiv:2502.08547v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The widespread adoption of electronic health records has created new opportunities for translational clinical research, yet this promise remains constrained by fragmented data across privacy-siloed institutions and substantial heterogeneity in local coding practices. While privacy-preserving collaborative learning allows institutions to work together without sharing patient-level data, it does not address inconsistencies in how clinical concepts are represented across sites. We introduce a graph-based framework that addresses this gap by treating data harmonization as a scalable representation learning problem. Rather than relying on fixed standards or manual mappings, the framework integrates institution-specific summary statistics from health records, curated biomedical knowledge graphs, and semantic information derived from large language models to learn a shared semantic space. This joint learning approach aligns diverse, site-specific vocabularies while preserving patient privacy. Evaluated across seven institutions and two languages, the framework provides a robust, data-centric foundation for training and deploying clinical models across heterogeneous healthcare systems.

InnoEval: On Research Idea Evaluation as a Knowledge-Grounded, Multi-Perspective Reasoning Problem

arXiv:2602.14367v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The rapid evolution of Large Language Models has catalyzed a surge in scientific idea production, yet this leap has not been accompanied by a matching advance in idea evaluation. The fundamental nature of scientific evaluation needs knowledgeable grounding, collective deliberation, and multi-criteria decision-making. However, existing idea evaluation methods often suffer from narrow knowledge horizons, flattened evaluation dimensions, and the inherent bias in LLM-as-a-Judge. To address these, we regard idea evaluation as a knowledge-grounded, multi-perspective reasoning problem and introduce InnoEval, a deep innovation evaluation framework designed to emulate human-level idea assessment. We apply a heterogeneous deep knowledge search engine that retrieves and grounds dynamic evidence from diverse online sources. We further achieve review consensus with an innovation review board containing reviewers with distinct academic backgrounds, enabling a multi-dimensional decoupled evaluation across multiple metrics. We construct comprehensive datasets derived from authoritative peer-reviewed submissions to benchmark InnoEval. Experiments demonstrate that InnoEval can consistently outperform baselines in point-wise, pair-wise, and group-wise evaluation tasks, exhibiting judgment patterns and consensus highly aligned with human experts.
