Import What You Need: Learning When and How to Augment EHR Graphs with External Knowledge

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Longitudinal prediction from electronic health records (EHRs) is limited by the sparsity and irregularity in patient trajectories, and knowledge augmentation with external knowledge graphs (KGs) offers a promising way to alleviate these issues. However, most existing methods perform fixed, context-agnostic topology augmentation by adding the same KG nodes and edges regardless of a patient's evolving state. We propose ReTA, a Reinforcement learning-based dynamic Topology Augmentation framework that casts KG import as a per-visit, budget-aware policy. ReTA first constructs an offline refined poo
