Early identification is clinically important, yet existing tools face limitations in accuracy, scalability, and cost. Machine learning (ML) offers promise but is hindered by small ESUS cohorts and high-dimensional medical features. To address these challenges, we introduce supervised and unsupervised hypergraph-based pre-training strategies to improve AF prediction in ESUS patients. We first pre-train hypergraph-based patient embedding models on a large stroke cohort (7,780 patients) to capture salient features and higher-order interactions. The resulting embeddings are transferred to a smaller ESUS cohort (510 patients), reducing feature dimensionality while preserving clinically meaningful information, enabling effective prediction with lightweight models. Experiments show that both pre-training approaches outperform traditional models trained on raw data, improving accuracy and robustness. This framework offers a scalable and efficient solution for AF risk prediction after stroke.</p>","PeriodicalId":72181,"journal":{"name":"AMIA Joint Summits on Translational Science proceedings.
