A new paper published on arXiv highlights significant issues with the evaluation of class-imbalance strategies in multimodal medical classification tasks. The research found that benchmarks using record-level splits on datasets like MIMIC-CXR can be misleading, with models performing poorly on unseen patients and even falling to a baseline of predicting all cases positive. When evaluated with patient-separated data and admission-aligned labels, the effectiveness of imbalance strategies and ensemble models was diminished, suggesting a need for more robust and leakage-aware benchmarking protocols.
