From Word Sequences to Behavioral Sequences: Adapting Modeling and Evaluation Paradigms for Longitudinal NLP

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2601. 07988v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: While NLP typically treats documents as independent and unordered samples, in longitudinal studies, this assumption rarely holds: documents are nested within authors and ordered in time, forming person-indexed, time-ordered $\textit{behavioral sequences}$.

PORTER: Language-Grounded Event Representations for Portable Structured EHR Foundation Models

arXiv:2606. 24102v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most electronic health record (EHR) foundation models encode clinical events as discrete event tokens from a fixed vocabulary and therefore cannot directly represent events containing unseen concepts or new combinations of concepts and attributes such as numeric values.

Who Annotates in NLP? A Large-scale Assessment of Human Annotation Reporting between 2018 and 2025

arXiv:2606. 02255v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human annotation is the empirical foundation of much NLP research, from dataset construction to model evaluation, but papers often leave unclear who produced the annotations and how the annotation process was controlled.

CliniCIRCA: A Modular LLM Framework for Constructing Longitudinal Mental Health Patient Journeys from Raw EHR Narratives

CliniCIRCA is a modular large‑language‑model framework that reconstructs longitudinal mental‑health patient journeys from raw electronic health record narratives. It temporally classifies clinical events in unstructured discharge summaries without explicit timestamps, producing 15,891 tagged events from 52 summaries and correcting 629 errors to create verified gold‑standard timelines. The framework then generates temporally grounded summaries, compressing each source by 1.52×, and scales to produce 1,000 silver‑standard timelines for training, showing that instruction tuning improves event extraction, temporal tagging, and summarization across models.
