The verbose context problem occurs when structured concepts have token-inefficient textual representations. This bottleneck is acute in population health: cohort-level analysis of longitudinal patient records requires reasoning over thousands of medically-coded events, often exceeding 400K tokens in total.
arXiv:2606. 26105v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) exhibit strong capabilities in short-context reasoning but degrade in performance over long conversational horizons due to context window limitations and inefficient token usage.

HERMES is a graph-based framework that uses only clinical text to predict patient outcomes. It builds personalized Knowledge Graphs from clinical notes via Large‑Language‑Model‑guided extraction and Contrastive Logic Modeling, capturing temporal dynamics and treatment changes. A Graph Attention Network then synthesizes patient representations, and experiments on MIMIC‑III and MIMIC‑IV show HERMES outperforms text‑only baselines for in‑hospital mortality and 30‑day readmission prediction.
