Making Clinical Language Models Auditable: Concept-Guided Fine-Tuning for Robust Prediction

The paper introduces CAST, a concept-guided artifact suppression tuning framework that uses sparse autoencoders to identify and suppress note-specific artifacts in clinical language models. CAST labels latent features with an LLM-assisted pipeline and ICD‑10 constraints, then fine‑tunes the model while providing post‑hoc per‑concept attributions for auditability. In experiments on MIMIC‑IV discharge‑note mortality prediction, CAST outperforms standard fine‑tuned encoders and competes with strong LLM baselines while offering a feature‑level audit trail of clinical concepts and suppressed artifacts.

MedHal: a Synthetic Dataset for Medical Hallucination Detection

MedHal is a large-scale synthetic dataset created to detect hallucinations in medical AI-generated text. It includes diverse medical sources and tasks that cover both intrinsic and extrinsic hallucinations, providing a substantial volume of samples for training. The authors demonstrate that models trained on MedHal outperform general-purpose hallucination detectors, highlighting its usefulness for medical AI development.

Hallucination Detection-Guided Preference Optimization for Clinical Summarization

arXiv:2605. 28910v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have shown promise on summarization tasks, but they often produce hallucinations, which are unsupported or incorrect statements that limit their reliability in specialized healthcare applications.

A Knowledge-Injection Framework for Zero-Shot Adaptation of LLMs to Delirium Prediction

arXiv:2607. 20453v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models show promise for clinical prediction, but zero-shot performance on specialized tasks is limited by incomplete domain knowledge, especially for smaller locally deployable models.
