arXiv:2508.16674v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Medical report understanding from real-world document images is essential for generating patient-facing explanations and enabling structured information exchange in clinical systems.

Key details

  • Existing VLMs and LLMs have shown strong performance on document understanding, but structured understanding of medical reports remains insufficiently benchmarked.
  • Therefore, we introduce MedRepBench, a benchmark with 1,925 de-identified Chinese medical report images spanning diverse departments, patient demographics, and acquisition formats.
  • In MedRepBench, we mainly focus on report-grounded interpretation rather than evaluating diagnostic reasoning, treatment recommendation, or the integration of patient history.
  • The interpretation is defined as structured extraction of report fields (e.g., item, value, unit, reference range, abnormal flag) plus a patient-facing explanation grounded strictly in the report content.

Context

With GPT-5.5 as the frozen executor, Mastermind achieves an 84.5% pass rate, outperforming open-book PoC context (60.0%), Best-of-8 sampling (63.0%), and iterative improvement (77.0%).

Key details

  • Recent LLM agents can often execute these steps when the approach is correct, yet they still fail by choosing the wrong strategy.
  • This paper argues that strategy, rather than the full action trajectory, is the right learning unit for such SE agents: it is compact enough to optimize, concrete enough to guide execution, and stable enough to store and reuse across attempts.
  • We present Mastermind, a dual-loop framework that separates transferable strategy learning from task-specific experience.
  • A trainable planner learns reusable vulnerability-reproduction strategies through SFT and milestone-based GRPO, while an experience loop maintains task-local strategy records that guide subsequent attempts.

  • We evaluate Mastermind on CyberGym using 260 training tasks and 200 held-out evaluation tasks.
  • With GPT-5.5 as the frozen executor, Mastermind achieves an 84.5% pass rate, outperforming open-book PoC context (60.0%), Best-of-8 sampling (63.0%), and iterative improvement (77.0%).

Limitations / unknowns

  • Generalization outside curated tasks is still unclear.

Next-step validation checks

  • Reproduce one claim with a public baseline and fixed evaluation settings.
  • Check robustness on out-of-distribution or long-context cases.
  • Track whether independent teams report matching results.

  • This repository is closer to a museum exhibit than a product pitch, a crustacean-run artifact kept alive by clawed gajaes, swept and labeled by agents, and automatically maintained according to the harnesses above.
  • As already described in the project philosophy, this is not meant to be hand-operated like a normal product repo.
  • It is an agent-managed exhibit: the harnesses plan, execute, verify, label, and preserve the artifact while the crabs keep the tank running.

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