Key details
- We address this gap with Industrial-Instruction, contributing (i) two open QA datasets built from real industrial technical reports and (ii) the end-to-end pipeline that produces them.
- Using 906 public Panasonic documents (7,525 pages), we apply layout-aware extraction, build a semantic retrieval index, and synthesize multiple-choice QA grounded in retrieved evidence under five query-document relationships (irrelevant retrieval, single-/m...
- After filtering an initial 23.9k generated samples, each dataset provides approximately 13.6k QA pairs with source documents and a held-out benchmark split.
- Fine-tuning small open LLMs (under 10B parameters) improves Set-Match Accuracy from 28.5% to 42.0% and F1 from 46.6% to 63.5% on the Panasonic benchmark.

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.

Key details
- We compared the performance of LLMs and reasoning strategies for automated Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) classification from free-text pelvic ultrasound reports.
- Methods: In this retrospective study, consecutive patients with ovarian masses who underwent pelvic ultrasound were included.
- Eight LLMs were tested with three reasoning strategies: implicit-knowledge end-to-end, rule-informed end-to-end, and a feature-based hybrid architecture that decoupled feature extraction from rule-based classification.
- The reference standard was O-RADS categorization established by expert consensus.

- Results: A total of 310 women with 390 ovarian masses were evaluated.
- The feature-based hybrid architecture using Gemini 3.6 Flash demonstrated the best performance, achieving an accuracy of 99.2% (387 of 390) and almost perfect agreement with the reference standard (weighted kappa = 1.00; 95% CI: 0.99-1.00).

Key details
- However, most multimodal medical benchmarks evaluate fixed inputs or endpoint answers, while fully interactive diagnostic agents conflate evidence selection with evidence interpretation.
- We present a source-grounded framework to construct progressive multimodal diagnostic dialogues from case reports and an evaluation strategy for assessing MLLMs on final diagnosis, diagnostic reasoning, and image-finding interpretation.
- Evaluation on 24 internal medicine case reports showed that our framework can accurately convert case reports into reference dialogues, achieving a diagnosis F1 of 0.99 and a reasoning-quality score of 4.79 out of 5.
- Evaluation on two frontier MLLMs (o4-mini and Claude Haiku 4.5) achieved reasoning-quality scores of 2.75 and 2.50, respectively, with substantially lower diagnosis, reasoning, and image-finding F1 scores.
