E.g., relevant to this article, there are papers demonstrating that genomic + H&E information leads to better predictions on cancer survival outcome tasks than H&E or genomic inputs alone.
Frankly, you can find a lot of claims in the literature (and I believe some of them). But how many of these multimodal systems are currently used in the clinic? That’s the only metric that matters. I’m not even disagreeing with the premise that multimidal systems should be able to improve prognostic power in theory. But I am curious how well these systems work in practice.
