Health foundation models show emergent symbolic structure and cross-modal transfer

Researchers have developed a method to transfer information between independently trained health foundation models by aligning their data-dependent coordinate systems. This approach extracts symbol-like components from frozen embeddings using linear decomposition and aligns them across models with simple linear maps. These aligned symbols show selective associations with health conditions and physiological attributes, demonstrating similar patterns across different modalities and architectures. A classifier trained on symbols from one model retains over 95% of its performance when applied to another, indicating that these health models converge on a common representation of underlying physiology.

    Emergent Symbolic Structure in Health Foundation Models: Extraction, Alignment, and Cross-Modal Transfer

    arXiv:2605.07407v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We show that information can be transferred post-hoc across independently trained health foundation models (FMs), each pretrained on ~20M minutes of wearable sensor data from ~172K participants, by aligning their data-dependent …
