The paper introduces an adaptive triggering mechanism for bias correction in large language model (LLM) reasoning. By framing bias intervention as an online change‑point detection problem, the authors update a CUSUM statistic at each step using either a white‑box next‑token probability signal or a black‑box LLM judge signal, and inject corrective prompts only when the accumulated evidence exceeds a calibrated threshold. Experiments on gpt‑4o‑mini and six open‑weight models show that adaptive black‑box triggering restores most of the accuracy lost by fixed‑interval interventions while reducing the number of corrections, whereas the white‑box signal improves ambiguous‑item accuracy but can hurt disambiguated‑item accuracy due to difficulty distinguishing stereotype reliance from correct evidence.

The paper introduces UR$^{2}$-MLLM, an uncertainty‑aware multimodal large language model that dynamically revisits uncertain image regions during radiology report generation. It incorporates an uncertainty perception module trained on a specialized dataset, builds a multimodal reasoning trajectory with a detect‑and‑copy mechanism to guide revisits, and refines this behavior using a visual grounding reward via reinforcement learning. Experiments on MIMIC‑CXR and IU‑Xray demonstrate state‑of‑the‑art performance, underscoring the importance of visual revisit reasoning for reliable, clinically aligned reports.

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.
