Our approach is motivated by the common mathematician's notio...
- Correlation Is Not Enough: Embedding Human Metadata for Individual Causal Discovery
Ask a pretrained biomedical language model whether "cortisol 28 ug/dL" and "stock-market volatility" are related, and it returns a cosine similarity of 0.83 on a scale where 1.0 means identical. The two share no mechanism. This is not a corner case: every off-the-shelf biomedical encoder we tested (...
- Transition-Based Digital Twin Modelling for Alzheimer's Disease under Sparse Longitudinal Data
