REMEDI: A Benchmark for Retention and Unlearning Evaluation in Multi-label Clinical Disease Inference

arXiv:2606. 07141v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Language models trained for clinical disease inference are trained on patient data, which may include sensitive and private information, and data owners may request the removal of their data from a trained model due to privacy or copyright concerns.

MODIS: Multi-Omics Data Integration for Small and unpaired datasets

MODIS is a semi‑supervised framework for integrating multi‑omics data that are often unpaired, partially labeled, and scarce, such as in rare disease studies. It trains on a large reference database and a small target dataset simultaneously, using diagonal integration and class‑label alignment to handle class imbalance. The architecture combines variational auto‑encoders, a class classifier, and an adversarially trained modality classifier, with a regularized relativistic GAN loss for stable training, and demonstrates high accuracy on synthetic data and the TCGA cancer dataset.

Learning Diagnostic Reasoning for Decision Support in Toxicology

The paper introduces DeToxR, a reinforcement‑learning‑enhanced large language model designed to support decision making in acute toxicology cases. It fuses unstructured narratives from paramedics and patients with structured vital‑sign data to predict co‑ingested substances across 14 classes. In preliminary validation, DeToxR outperforms baseline models, achieving higher micro‑F1 and recall scores for poison identification.

Tool-Augmented On-Policy Distillation for LLM Domain Adaptation in Sequence-Based Omics Tasks

The paper introduces OmicsBench, a new reasoning benchmark for multi‑omics sequences that includes 1,160 expert‑validated questions across DNA regulation, RNA processing, and protein function tasks, requiring traceable evidence chains. Evaluation of 17 large language models shows that scientific LLMs, while more accurate in classification, often lack valid evidence, suggesting shortcut learning. To address this, the authors propose tool‑augmented on‑policy distillation (TA‑OPD), a post‑training method that improves both evidence grounding and predictive performance across five Qwen3.5 models of varying sizes.
