Combining Relevant Expert Knowledge Using Mixtures of Feedback Fuzzy Cognitive Maps

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper proposes a method for combining expert knowledge using mixtures of feedback fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) guided by a relevance criterion adapted from legal evidence theory. An answer is deemed relevant only if it is both probative and material to the query, and this relevance is used to weight and mix expert FCMs into a query‑specific knowledge network. The authors introduce a Bayes‑like de‑mixing theorem to estimate posterior‑like FCMs and demonstrate the approach on synthetic FCMs derived from a 13‑node expert model of ischemic‑stroke risk.

LLM Enhancement with Domain Expert Mental Model to Reduce LLM Hallucination with Causal Prompt Engineering

The paper proposes a causal prompt engineering framework that encodes a domain expert’s decision logic—termed an Expert Mental Model (EMM)—into large language models (LLMs) to mitigate hallucinations arising from missing knowledge. By formalizing factor formulation, factor monotonization, and monotonicity-preserving hierarchical structuring, the framework reduces the elicitation burden from millions of combinations to a manageable set, enabling a four-step EMM construction algorithm. The approach allows formal measurement of hallucination rates in tacit expert knowledge and is validated in grant proposal evaluation, cybersecurity design, and clinical diagnosis.

Navigating Unreliable Parametric and Contextual Knowledge: Explicit Knowledge Conflict Resolution for LLM Inference

arXiv:2606. 20245v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) have achieved strong performance across a wide range of language-based tasks by leveraging both extensive parametric knowledge and in-context learning ability, enabling them to incorporate external information provided in the input prompt.

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.
