Schema-Adaptive Tabular Representation Learning with LLMs for Generalizable Multimodal Clinical Reasoning

arXiv:2604.11835v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine learning for tabular data remains constrained by poor schema generalization, a challenge rooted in the lack of semantic understanding of structured variables. This challenge is particularly acute in domains like clinical medicine, where electronic health record (EHR) schemas vary significantly. To solve this problem, we propose Schema-Adaptive Tabular Representation Learning, a novel method that leverages large language models (LLMs) to c
