用提示引导融合病历文本与检验时间序列,提升疾病诊断效果

ProMedTS: A Self-Supervised, Prompt-Guided Multimodal Approach for Integrating Medical Text and Time Series

  • 通过异常检测生成提示词,将时间序列转为可编码的嵌入向量
  • 在真实数据集上诊断准确率超越现有最佳方法
  • 适合需要融合动态医疗数据与临床文本的研究者

大型语言模型在视觉-语言任务中表现卓越,但在医疗领域,特别是结构化时间序列数据与非结构化病历文本的融合方面仍研究不足。临床实践中,实验室检查等动态时间序列捕捉关键时间模式,而病历文本提供丰富语义信息。两者因连续信号与离散文本的本质差异难以整合。为此,我们提出ProMedTS,一种自监督多模态框架,采用提示引导学习统一异构数据。该方法利用轻量级异常检测生成异常描述作为提示,指导原始时间序列编码为信息丰富的提示嵌入。这些嵌入与文本表示对齐于共享潜在空间,同时保留精细时间特征与语义洞察。此外,框架引入定制化的自监督目标,强化模态内与跨模态对齐。我们在真实世界数据集上评估了ProMedTS在疾病诊断任务中的表现,结果表明该方法持续优于现有先进方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable performance in vision-language tasks, but their application in the medical field remains underexplored, particularly for integrating structured time series data with unstructured clinical notes. In clinical practice, dynamic time series data, such as lab test results, capture critical temporal patterns, while clinical notes provide rich semantic context. Merging these modalities is challenging due to the inherent differences between continuous signals and discrete text. To bridge this gap, we introduce ProMedTS, a novel self-supervised multimodal framework that employs prompt-guided learning to unify these heterogeneous data types. Our approach leverages lightweight anomaly detection to generate anomaly captions that serve as prompts, guiding the encoding of raw time series data into informative prompt embeddings. These prompt embeddings are aligned with textual representations in a shared latent space, preserving fine-grained temporal nuances alongside semantic insights. Furthermore, our framework incorporates tailored self-supervised objectives to enhance both intra- and inter-modal alignment. We evaluate ProMedTS on disease diagnosis tasks using real-world datasets, and the results demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art approaches.
