Generated Context versus Governed State: Functional Conditions for Accountable Longitudinal Clinical Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 14804v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have become the dominant interface of clinical artificial intelligence, yet the interface they expose (text in, text out, one context window at a time) maintains no explicit, persistent, governed representation of what is currently true about a patient.

CliniCARE-Bench: Clinical Calibrated Audit of Medical Reasoning in EHR

arXiv:2608. 07796v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models perform strongly on medical knowledge benchmarks, but reliable clinical deployment requires agents to conduct defensible investigations over heterogeneous, longitudinal records: determining what evidence is needed, retrieving and reconciling structured and free-text data, grounding conclusions in verifiable evidence, and deferring cases that cannot be resolved reliably.

Quantitative Evidence Mining for Plausibility-Aware Biomedical AI: A Narrative Review and Conceptual Framework

The article proposes a framework called quantitative evidence mining to transform biomedical findings into structured, context-rich evidence units. It outlines core elements such as claim, measured entity, value, comparator, population, conditions, temporal context, uncertainty, provenance, validation, and expert review. The authors present an eight-stage reference architecture and emphasize that plausibility should remain multidimensional rather than collapsed into a single truth label, linking extraction to evidence synthesis for applications like clinical trials, biomarker research, and knowledge-graph construction.

Agentic Governance and Adversarial Verification for Policy-Constrained LLM Healthcare Appeal Generation

The paper introduces AGVF, a multi‑agent framework for generating medical‑necessity appeals that must adhere to payer policy and evidence constraints. AGVF treats appeal synthesis as a Constrained Markov Decision Process involving five agents—policy formalization, evidence retrieval, gap analysis, adversarial critique, and gated synthesis—and proves that refining the policy constraint graph monotonically reduces evidence deficiency. A deterministic citation‑grounding gate ensures no unsupported assertions enter the shared state, and validation on 1,000 synthetic cases shows zero citation violations and monotonic deficiency reduction.

Review Before Trust: Source-Grounded Integrity Gates for AI-Assisted Personal Health Records

The paper introduces a source‑grounded integrity gate for AI‑assisted personal health records, ensuring that data generated by large language models remains provisional until a deterministic monitor verifies it against the source document. The monitor only accepts candidates that contain a unique supporting quotation, appear within the same laboratory row, and preserve provenance, preventing the model from approving its own output. In Medical DataCloud, the system passed all 22 conformance and mutation tests and, in a replay of nine historical lab reports, admitted 72 of 97 numeric candidates while retaining 25 for human review.

Positive Topology and Feasible Refinement: Forcing Matrices, Positivity, and Information

The paper introduces Positive Topology, a framework built on a basic relation between points (or models) and observable properties. It identifies two complementary structures: universal refinement and cover, and positivity and witnessed existence, showing that each can reconstruct the underlying relation. The authors present both information‑theoretic and game‑theoretic interpretations, and discuss how resource constraints can be integrated, illustrating applications in medical diagnosis, legal reasoning, and AI.

The Calibration Turn in AI-Assisted Research: A Conceptual and Methodological Framework for Evidence-Licensed Claims

arXiv:2606. 31273v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI-assisted research has entered a stage in which the central question is not only whether systems can generate hypotheses, run experiments, or produce manuscripts, but whether their scientific claims are calibrated to the evidence that supports them.

EviDx: Evidence-Aware Active Diagnosis with Scaffolded LLM Agents

EviDx is a new framework for evidence-aware active diagnosis that pairs patient-specific diagnostic environments with a clinical scaffold and an observer-guided runtime harness. The framework constructs interactive environments from raw clinical cases, organizes role-specialized agents and evidence tools, and regulates diagnostic termination by tracking uncertainty and evidence coverage. Experiments demonstrate that EviDx improves diagnostic performance and process stability while revealing model-dependent capability boundaries.
