arXiv:2604. 09482v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Reasoning in knowledge-intensive domains remains challenging as intermediate steps are often not locally verifiable: unlike math or code, evaluating step correctness may require synthesizing clues across large external knowledge sources.

CARE: Causally-Aligned Reasoning Exploration for Medical Large Language Models proposes a new framework to improve medical reasoning in LLMs. It introduces two key conditions—Causal Sufficiency and Proximal Learnability—to curate high-quality training trajectories, using agreement-based self-verification and dynamic entropy bounds. Experiments on medical multimodal and text-only benchmarks show that CARE outperforms competitors, reducing incorrect reasoning and enhancing training stability.

The paper introduces MedTraj, a framework that constructs, evaluates, and optimizes multi‑step reasoning trajectories for medical AI agents. It parses each trajectory into observations, evidence, numbered steps, and a conclusion, scoring them on coherence, evidence support, hallucination, completeness, and traceability. Experiments on CareQA, PubMedQA, and CECMed show that incorporating quality‑weighted trajectory context improves reasoning coherence and correctness while significantly reducing hallucinations.
