Abstract

Imputing missing values in imbalanced datasets remains an open challenge. Most methods assume data are missing at random or follow a standard distribution, lacking robustness for complex real-world data. Electronic health records exhibit severe class imbalance with non-random missingness, hindering model performance. We propose M3-BRITS for greater scalability and flexibility, modeling temporal and cross-feature correlations to impute missing data, by optimizing sample similarity with deep metric learning for self-supervised learning. Evaluating imputation alone avoids reduced diversity and model bias from joint downstream tasks. Our model achieves superior performance to all baseline methods on four real-world datasets. This shows promise for increasing model scalability and flexibility to handle complex real-world data.
