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.

Abstract: The facts a language model stores are tied to its parameter count, so small models that fit on edge devices fail on expert problems, which ne...

The paper introduces CLEAR, an agentic framework designed to improve the reliability of large language models (LLMs) in medical contexts by adjudicating evidence from multiple sources. CLEAR generates candidate answers from three distinct pathways—parametric knowledge, locally curated corpora, and dynamically retrieved evidence—and then uses an aggregation verifier to evaluate agreement and conflict among these sources. An adjudication module decides whether to preserve or revise conclusions, employing override-guard and challenge-audit mechanisms, and initiates targeted follow-up searches when conflicts remain unresolved.
