What's new

arXiv:2605.03103v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Semi-structured information extraction (IE) from OCR-derived clinical reports is crucial for efficiently reconstructing patients' longitudinal medical histories.

Key details

  • In practice, this scenario commonly involves three tasks: (i) field-header (key) discovery, (ii) key-conditioned question answering (QA), and (iii) end-to-end key-value pair extraction.
  • However, existing evaluations often under-model two factors: heterogeneous and incompletely known key representations, and OCR-induced noise.
  • This makes it difficult to assess model robustness in real-world settings.
  • We present MedStruct-S, a benchmark specifically designed to evaluate these tasks under unknown keys and OCR noise.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2605.03103v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Semi-structured information extraction (IE) from OCR-derived clinical reports is crucial for efficiently reconstructing patients' longitudinal medical histories.
  • MedStruct-S contains 3,582 annotated real-world clinical report pages.
  • Using MedStruct-S, we benchmark two representative paradigms: encoder-only sequence labeling with post-processing and decoder-only structured generation, covering four encoder-only and five decoder-only models spanning 0.11B to 103B parameters.

Key details

  • My agent skills that I use every day to do real engineering - not vibe coding.
  • Developing real applications is hard.
  • Approaches like GSD, BMAD, and Spec-Kit try to help by owning the process.
  • But while doing so, they take away your control and make bugs in the process hard to resolve.

  • 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.

Results & evidence

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

Key Coverage Matters: Semi-Structured Extraction of OCR Clinical Reports

Signal 9.4 Novelty 4.0 Impact 2.0 Confidence 8.7 Actionability 6.5

Summary: arXiv:2605.09440v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clinical reports are often fragmented across healthcare institutions because privacy regulations and data silos limit.

  • What happened: We maintain a canonical key inventory through iterative key mining, normalization, clustering, and lightweight human verification, and introduce key coverage as a metric.
  • Why it matters: Using a 0.2B BERT-based model, experiments on real-world reports from more than 20 hospitals show performance improves monotonically with key coverage.
  • What to do: Validate with one small internal benchmark and compare against your current baseline this week.
Deep

Context

We formulate this problem as canonical key-conditioned extractive question answering over OCR-derived clinical reports.

What's new

Although our annotated corpus is Chinese, the method relies on the language-agnostic key-value organization of semi-structured clinical reports and can be adapted to other settings given an appropriate canonical key inventory and alias mapping.

Key details

  • When patients seek care at a different hospital, they often carry paper or scanned reports from prior visits.
  • This hinders EHR integration and longitudinal review, and downstream applications that depend on more complete patient records, such as patient management, follow-up care, real-world studies, and clinical-trial matching.
  • Although OCR can digitize such reports, reliable extraction remains challenging because clinical documents are heterogeneous, OCR text is noisy, and many healthcare settings require low-cost on-premise deployment.
  • We formulate this problem as canonical key-conditioned extractive question answering over OCR-derived clinical reports.

Results & evidence

  • arXiv:2605.09440v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Clinical reports are often fragmented across healthcare institutions because privacy regulations and data silos limit direct information sharing.
  • Using a 0.2B BERT-based model, experiments on real-world reports from more than 20 hospitals show performance improves monotonically with key coverage.
  • The model achieves F1 scores of 0.839 and 0.893 under exact match and boundary-tolerant matching, respectively, once the Top-90 canonical keys are covered.

Limitations / unknowns
