MUSIC

Part of TabBioMed (TabBioMed: A Large-Scale Benchmark for Biomedical Tabular Learning), a benchmark of 94 curated biomedical tabular datasets. Code, preprocessing and documentation: https://github.com/AI-sandbox/TabBioMed.

MUSIC cause-of-death classification. Eleven patients lost to follow-up (exit code 1) and twenty heart-transplant patients (exit code 2) are excluded because no cause of death was observed. Class 0 is alive at the end of follow-up. Cause codes 1, 3, and 6/7 map to classes 1, 2, and 3.

Splits. Fixed train/val/test split (672/144/145 rows).

Files

• data/**.parquet: one row per sample. row_idx is the row index in the original TabBioMed array; f_<i>[_<name>] are the features (in order); target (or target_<j> for multi-target tasks) is the label. Categorical feature indices (0-based, among the features): [1, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 40, 43, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 7, 13, 14, 15, 46, 47]. Missing values are stored as nulls.
• metadata.json: TabBioMed task metadata (task type, categorical indices, source, description).
• feature_names.json: original feature names, in column order.
