The verbose context problem occurs when structured concepts have token-inefficient textual representations. This bottleneck is acute in population health: cohort-level analysis of longitudinal patient records requires reasoning over thousands of medically-coded events, often exceeding 400K tokens in total.
arXiv:2606. 26105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong capabilities in short-context reasoning but degrade in performance over long conversational horizons due to context window limitations and inefficient token usage.

Understanding the temporal progression of symptoms in clinical narratives is critical for disease monitoring, safety surveillance, and causality assessment. Clinical narratives, however, rarely provide explicit temporal anchors.
arXiv:2511. 12110v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Despite notable progress in text-guided medical image segmentation nowadays, these methods are limited to single-round dialogues and fail to support multi-round reasoning, which is important for medical education scenarios.
