A survival prediction network based on multi-scale hypergraph enhancement and cross-modal refinement by Chaofeng Yang, Yongjie Liang, Fan Qin, Yulong Cao, Peiyuan Wang, Jiaying Fan, Bizhong Wei

“…In the method design, the hypergraph construction module captures high-order feature associations of pathological images at different resolutions and effectively aligns feature distributions across scales through homomorphic nonlinear mapping; subsequently, the cross-modal refinement Transformer module based on rotary encoding achieves dynamic information transfer and complementary refinement between visual features and multi-omics data through attention mechanisms and position decay designs; finally, a feature fusion attention mechanism is introduced to fuse multi-modal features, which both suppresses inter-modal redundancy and effectively mitigates information conflicts, thereby enhancing the precision of individualized prognosis analysis. …”
