Key Coverage Matters: Semi-Structured Extraction of OCR Clinical Reports

The paper presents a method for extracting key information from OCR‑digitized clinical reports, addressing challenges posed by heterogeneous documents and noisy OCR output. It introduces an open key space that is iteratively mined, normalized, clustered, and verified to build a canonical key inventory, and defines key coverage as a metric for inventory completeness. Experiments on reports from over 20 hospitals using a 0.2B BERT model show that performance improves steadily with key coverage, achieving high F1 scores when the top 90 keys are covered and outperforming a fine‑tuned Qwen3‑0.6B baseline.

Clinical Intent Extraction: A FHIR-Aligned Representation and the CIRCA Benchmark

The paper introduces Clinical Intent Extraction (CIE), a task that transforms fragmented clinical action annotations into complete structured records called Clinical Intent Representation (CIR). CIR decomposes each action into verb, type, coded target, timing, condition, request‑intent (aligned to HL7 FHIR) and modality, adding dimensions absent in prior datasets. By re‑expressing five heterogeneous corpora into CIR, the authors create CIRCA, a benchmark of 10,011 harmonized intents with human‑validated subsets, crosswalks, and a deterministic FHIR R4 mapper, and demonstrate that existing models perform poorly on the full task, highlighting the need for targeted development.

Cross-Lingual Clinical Annotation Projection as Constrained Text Generation: A Six-Language Study

The study investigates whether cross‑lingual clinical annotation projection can be treated as a constrained text‑generation task that preserves the original text while inserting entity tags. Using a workflow that embeds tags directly into immutable target‑language text and then validates them deterministically, the authors evaluated this approach against supervised candidate‑span projection and hybrid ML‑LLM refinement across six languages. Results show that direct LLM projection, particularly with GLM 5.2 and Gemma4:31B, achieves the highest strict F1 scores (up to 0.9201) and outperforms previous methods by 0.0564–0.1512, producing over 55,000 grounded mentions with accurate offsets.

Retrieval-Augmented Agentic Rubric Generation for Reliable Medical Response Evaluation

The paper introduces a retrieval‑augmented multi‑agent framework that automatically generates instance‑specific evaluation rubrics for medical language models. By retrieving authoritative medical evidence, decomposing it into atomic facts, and combining these with user interaction constraints, the system produces fine‑grained criteria that outperform GPT‑4o on HealthBench and LLMEval‑Med. The generated rubrics also guide response refinement, improving medical LLM output quality by 9.2%.
