Models that explicitly consider the dynamic nature of disease progression promise a more comprehensive analysis of longitudinal datasets and disease characterization. This paper presents a novel framework that utilizes optimal reaction coordinates (RCs) to describe disease progression as a diffusion on a free energy landscape. This method addresses key challenges, including the curse of dimensionality, irregular sampling, and data imbalance, providing a theoretically optimal representation of stochastic disease dynamics. Additionally, we introduce a new validation criterion that outperforms traditional metrics like AUC in distinguishing between optimal and sub-optimal RCs. Our approach offers a comprehensive and practical tool for analyzing disease dynamics, facilitating early diagnosis and targeted medical interventions.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
