    Models trained with structured taxonomies outperformed those with narrow, single-disorder labels in out-of-domain generalisation.

  • 4

    Multi-task learning did not provide advantages over single-task training, while targeted data injection improved binary detection accuracy.

  • 5

    Robust multi-class generalisation requires diverse multi-source training data, highlighting the need for varied recording conditions.
