FlatASCEND generates conditional clinical event sequences that partially recover known mechanistic drug associations from observational data but fail to maintain them under direct preference optimization and show weaker performance on longer outpatient timelines.

Sparse Autoencoder Decomposition of Clinical Sequence Model Representations: Feature Complexity, Task Specialisation, and Mortality Prediction
Sparse autoencoders applied to a 14.5M-parameter clinical EHR model reveal progressive abstraction across layers, with SAE features outperforming dense ones for mortality in full-sequence probes but not in leakage-safe windows where dense representations match or exceed them.
