Researchers have developed ReTA, a novel framework that uses reinforcement learning to dynamically augment electronic health record (EHR) graphs with external knowledge graphs. This approach allows for context-aware knowledge import on a per-visit basis, offering three options: soft import to enrich node features, hard import to modify graph topology, or skipping augmentation when the model is confident. Experiments on MIMIC-III and MIMIC-IV datasets demonstrated that ReTA consistently outperforms existing methods in prediction tasks like diagnosis, mortality, and readmission, while also showing transferability across datasets and knowledge graphs.
