What's new

In this paper, we propose PromptRad, a knowledge-enhanced multi-label \textbf{prompt}-tuning approach for \textbf{rad}iology report labeling under low-resource settings.

Key details

  • Existing rule-based labelers struggle with the diverse descriptions in clinical reports, while fine-tuning pre-trained language models (PLMs) requires large amounts of labeled data that are often unavailable in clinical settings.
  • In this paper, we propose PromptRad, a knowledge-enhanced multi-label \textbf{prompt}-tuning approach for \textbf{rad}iology report labeling under low-resource settings.
  • PromptRad reformulates multi-label classification as masked language modeling and incorporates synonyms from the UMLS Metathesaurus into a multi-word verbalizer to enrich category representations.
  • By fine-tuning the PLM without additional classification layers, PromptRad requires substantially less labeled data than conventional fine-tuning.

Key details

  • Bring your own agents, assign goals, and track your agents' work and costs from one dashboard.
  • It looks like a task manager — but under the hood it has org charts, budgets, governance, goal alignment, and agent coordination.
  • Manage business goals, not pull requests.
  • | Step | Example | | |---|---|---| | 01 | Define the goal | "Build the #1 AI note-taking app to $1M MRR." | | 02 | Hire the team | CEO, CTO, engineers, designers, marketers — any bot, any provider.

  • Drop one into your project and let coding agents generate a matching UI.
  • Copy a DESIGN.md into your project, tell your AI agent "build me a page that looks like this" and get pixel-perfect UI that actually matches.
  • DESIGN.md is a new concept introduced by Google Stitch.
  • A plain-text design system document that AI agents read to generate consistent UI.

Results & evidence

  • No hard numbers surfaced in the source text; treat claims as directional until benchmarks appear.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

When Cases Get Rare: A Retrieval Benchmark for Off-Guideline Clinical Question Answering

Signal 9.4 Novelty 5.1 Impact 2.0 Confidence 8.3 Actionability 5.2

Summary: arXiv:2605.21807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Across medical specialties, clinical practice is anchored in evidence-based guidelines that codify best studied diagnostic and.

  • What happened: To address this gap, we introduce OGCaReBench, a free-form retrieval-focused benchmark aimed at evaluating LLMs at answering clinical questions that require going beyond.
  • Why it matters: Augmenting models with retrieved medical articles improves this performance to up to 82% (using GPT-5.2) highlighting the importance of evidence-grounding for real-world.
  • What to do: Track for corroboration and benchmark data before adopting.
Deep

Context

This work thus establishes a foundation for benchmarking and advancing both general-purpose and medical LLMs to produce reliable answers in challenging clinical contexts.

What's new

arXiv:2605.21807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Across medical specialties, clinical practice is anchored in evidence-based guidelines that codify best studied diagnostic and treatment pathways.

Key details

  • These pathways routinely fall short for the long tail of real-world care not covered by guidelines.
  • Most medical large language models (LLMs), however, are trained to encode common, guideline-focused medical knowledge in their parameters.
  • Current evaluations test models primarily on recalling and reasoning with this memorized content, often in multiple-choice settings.
  • Given the fundamental importance of evidence-based reasoning in medicine, it is neither feasible nor reliable to depend on memorization in practice.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2605.21807v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Across medical specialties, clinical practice is anchored in evidence-based guidelines that codify best studied diagnostic and treatment pathways.
  • Our experiments reveal that even the best-performing baseline (GPT-5.2) correctly answers only 56% of our benchmark with specialized models only reaching 42%.
  • Augmenting models with retrieved medical articles improves this performance to up to 82% (using GPT-5.2) highlighting the importance of evidence-grounding for real-world medical reasoning tasks.

Limitations / unknowns

  • Most medical large language models (LLMs), however, are trained to encode common, guideline-focused medical knowledge in their parameters.
