摘要: 随着人工智能与医疗健康的深度融合,临床数据正经历从“辅助决策”到“驱动决策”的范式转变。临床数据包括患者症状、诊断影像、治疗记录等结构化与非结构化信息,为医疗决策提供重要支撑。然而,由于“领域偏移”现象的普遍存在,临床AI模型训练评估依赖的数据独立同分布假设(i.i.d.)失效,模型的跨域泛化能力被严重制约。域适应和域泛化技术可有效提升模型跨域表现。前者利用无标注目标域数据调整模型,使其适配新环境;后者基于源域数据学习域不变特征,实现无目标域数据下的泛化。针对两类技术在临床数据建模中的应用进展,按浅层、深层方法分类,展示其在不同数据类型中的应用场景,并总结了当前各类方法在泛化性能、数据依赖性与可解释性等方面的表现差异。

Abstract: With the deep integration of artificial intelligence and healthcare,clinical data is undergoing a paradigm shift from “aiding decision-making” to “driving decision-making”.Clinical data encompasses both structured and unstructured information such as patient symptoms,diagnostic images,and treatment records,providing crucial support for medical decision-making.However,due to the prevalent “domain shift” phenomenon,the independent and identically distributed(i.i.d.) assumption,which clinical AI models rely on for training and evaluation,is invalidated,severely restricting the models’ cross-domain generalization ability.Domain adaptation and domain generalization techniques can effectively enhance the cross-domain performance of models.The former adjusts models use unlabeled target domain data to adapt them to new environments,the latter learns domain-invariant features based on source domain data to achieve generalization without target domain data.Regarding the application progress of these two types of techniques in clinical data modeling,this paper classifies them into shallow and deep methods,demonstrates their application scenarios across different data types,and summarizes the current performance differences of various methods in terms of generalization performance,data dependency,and interpretability.

Key words: Clinical data, Domain shift, Domain adaptation, Domain generalization, Data dependence
