arXiv:2607. 18999v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-turn medical consultation agents must decide what to ask, adapt to patient responses, and determine when the collected evidence is sufficient.
arXiv:2607. 28788v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical diagnosis at hospital admission must be made rapidly from limited, incomplete evidence.
arXiv:2608.23397v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Interactive clinical agents must gather decisive evidence and convert it into grounded actions under partial observability. A correct final diagnosis a...
arXiv:2608.22899v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unlike static medical question answering, long-horizon diagnosis captures the sequential nature of clinical practice: evidence is progressively acquire...
arXiv:2606. 28900v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Doctor agents are moving beyond single-turn answer generation toward evolving clinical decision systems.
arXiv:2608.28599v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Clinical diagnosis is a step-by-step, cost-aware process: a physician orders examinations one at a time, observes the results, and updates the diagnosi...
The paper introduces Expected‑Severity‑Risk (ESR), a new objective for selecting questions in proactive medical dialogue that prioritizes reducing the expected severity of diagnostic errors rather than merely uncertainty. ESR uses population statistics to marginalize over possible answers and distills its rankings into a prefix‑only language policy, enabling deployment without teacher‑side risk computation. Experiments on DDxPlus show ESR cuts high‑severity diagnostic misses by 29.5% and boosts accuracy while adding only 0.14 extra questions per dialogue.
arXiv:2609.27987v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have made substantial progress on medical question-answering, yet effective medical dialogue also requires learning to ask...

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.
arXiv:2608. 07418v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In medical education, physicians convert academic knowledge into clinical expertise through residency: years of training across thousands of encounters, with diverse sources of feedback and progressively greater autonomy.
arXiv:2508. 16674v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical report understanding from real-world document images is essential for generating patient-facing explanations and enabling structured information exchange in clinical systems.
