The paper introduces AyurParam-2.9B, a bilingual language model fine‑tuned for Ayurveda using a curated dataset of classical texts and clinical guidance in English and Hindi. It outperforms other open‑source instruction‑tuned models of similar size on the BhashaBench‑Ayur benchmark and rivals larger models in performance. The work demonstrates that authentic domain adaptation and high‑quality supervision are essential for reliable, culturally congruent AI in specialized medical fields.

Gaokerena is a family of compact Persian medical language models designed for consumer‑grade hardware. The first variant, Gaokerena‑V, was trained on a 90‑million‑token Persian medical corpus and 20,000 physician Q&A pairs, raising a translated medical MMLU benchmark score from 46.28% to 49.31%. A second variant, Gaokerena‑R, adds a Chain‑of‑Thought approach and two Reinforcement Learning with AI Feedback frameworks, achieving a higher benchmark score of 52.98% while also providing uncertainty estimates based on internal hidden states.

The paper introduces a method for generating multilingual reasoning traces for medical question answering using large language models. It creates 500,000 reasoning traces in English, Italian, and Spanish by retrieving medical information from Wikipedia and applies them to MedQA and MedMCQA datasets extended into Italian and Spanish. The approach improves performance in both few‑shot in‑context learning and supervised fine‑tuning, achieving state‑of‑the‑art results for 8B‑parameter LLMs and releasing all resources for further research.

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown promising reasoning capabilities in general domains, yet their performance remains limited in specialized settings such as healthcare, especially in multilingual and low-resource scenarios. This gap is critical in regions like rural India, where patients often express complex medical queries in native Indic languages and rely on multimodal inputs such as medical images.
This study benchmarks transformer models for Bangla medical named entity recognition (NER), comparing BanglaBERT, multilingual BERT (mBERT), XLM‑RoBERTa, and GPT‑4o mini under zero‑shot and few‑shot prompting. Across a full test set of 3,179 samples, fine‑tuned XLM‑RoBERTa achieves a new state‑of‑the‑art F1‑score of 0.5959, while BanglaBERT lags with 0.4937, suggesting that domain diversity outweighs language specificity. The analysis shows high performance on Medicine and Specialist entities (F1 > 0.83) but lower accuracy on Symptoms (F1 0.4367), and demonstrates that fine‑tuned transformers outperform prompt‑only approaches by a factor of 3.76.

Lingshu is a medical‑specialized multimodal large language model that addresses key limitations of existing medical MLLMs, such as narrow knowledge coverage, hallucinations, and weak reasoning. The authors curate a comprehensive dataset combining medical imaging, texts, and general‑domain data, then train Lingshu in multiple stages to embed medical expertise and improve task performance. They also introduce MedEvalKit, a unified evaluation framework, and demonstrate that Lingshu outperforms current open‑source multimodal models on multimodal QA, text‑based QA, and medical report generation.
