A Guideline-Augmented Multi-Agent Framework for Schema-as-Code Biomedical Named Entity Recognition

The paper introduces GAMA, a guideline-augmented multi-agent framework designed to improve biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) using large language models (LLMs). GAMA constructs dataset-specific guideline memory by inducing and verifying annotation rules from training data, then employs a planning component to generate span-type hypotheses with rationales, a coding component to produce schema-constrained entity objects, and a verification module for structural compliance and dual-loop refinement. Experiments across five BioNER datasets demonstrate that GAMA consistently outperforms strong LLM-based baselines, with ablation studies confirming the effectiveness of each component.

Enhancing Biomedical Named Entity Recognition via Multiple Programming Languages Instruction Tuning and Ensemble Method

The paper introduces MITE, a method that transforms biomedical named entity recognition (BioNER) into a structure‑to‑structure generation task by encoding instructions and outputs in multiple programming languages (Python, C++, Java). This approach provides structurally diverse supervision without extra biomedical knowledge, and during inference it aggregates predictions via entity‑level voting to reduce language‑specific variance. Experiments on six BioNER datasets show that MITE outperforms BERT‑based and LLM‑based baselines and generalizes well across datasets.

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%.

ELISA: An Interpretable Hybrid Generative AI Agent for Expression-Grounded Discovery in Single-Cell Genomics

arXiv:2603. 11872v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Translating single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data into mechanistic biological hypotheses remains a critical bottleneck, as agentic AI systems lack direct access to transcriptomic representations while expression foundation models remain opaque to natural language.

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.
