介入の粒度が重要:臨床世界モデルによる反事実シミュレーションにおける一貫した治療バンドル
Intervention Granularity Matters: Coherent Treatment Bundles in Counterfactual Simulation with Clinical World Models
臨床世界モデルで反事実シミュレーションを行う際、介入を単一要素で編集するよりも実際の治療バンドル全体で編集する方が予測状態を大きく変化させることを示した。

Counterfactual simulation with a clinical world model means fixing a patient's history, changing the treatment, and reading off the predicted response. Doing so requires deciding what counts as one intervention. In clinical settings, interventions are documented as bundles: a co-occurrence audit of 945,707 patient-hours from MIMIC-IV shows groups of components, such as every parameter of a dialysis circuit, that never appear apart, so an edit that changes one component on its own describes an hour that never occurs in the data. We hypothesize that the granularity at which an intervention is edited changes how a world model responds, and test this with Clin-JEPA, a latent world model of patient trajectories conditioned on hourly treatment text. At 1,019 documented onsets of invasive ventilation, we keep the patient's history and other treatments fixed and compare editing one ventilator setting with editing the complete configuration recorded for a real patient with the most similar recent trajectory. The complete bundle moves the predicted next state further than any single setting, consistently across all five settings, and the difference remains after accounting for how much each edit changes the model's input. Intervention granularity therefore materially affects the response of a clinical world model: single-component edits may understate treatment sensitivity, and bundle-aware editing may offer a better-supported basis for counterfactual treatment simulation.
