  1. Mean values (%) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) are presented, and the best results are in bold. The 95%CI is calculated using the t-distribution, with degrees of freedom set at \(n-1\), where n is the number of experiments conducted.
  2. The overline denotes the ablation of the corresponding module. The asterisk \(^*\) denotes a statistically significant difference between the scenarios with and without the respective key module, as computed by the two-sample t-test (\(P<0.05\)).
  3. Abbreviations. AC: auxiliary classifiers; AE\(_{\text {os}}\): omics-specific autoencoders; AE\(_{\text {f}}\): autoencoders applied on the fused features; Att: self-attention; ConfNet: confidence network
