Electronic medical records (EMRs) are vital for healthcare research, but their use is limited by privacy concerns. Synthetic EMR generation offers a promising alternative, yet most existing methods merely imitate real records without adhering to rigorous clinical quality principles. To address this,…
Large Language Models (LLMs) frequently generate output that contradicts explicit input evidence, limiting their reliability in real-world applications. We identify cognitive inertia in LLMs—a tendency to overly rely on co-occurrence associations learned during pretraining and to resist adaptation w…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance on various medical benchmarks, but their capabilities across different cognitive levels remain underexplored. Inspired by Bloom's Taxonomy, we propose a multi-cognitive-level evaluation framework for assessing LLMs in the medical…
Inconsistent hallucinations remain a major challenge for large language models (LLMs), undermining the accuracy and reliability of fact-based reasoning in real-world applications. Existing approaches often rely on task-specific training or adaptation, such as hand-crafted synthetic datasets for doma…
Large Language Models (LLMs) are expected to possess comprehensive medical knowledge to support real-world clinical applications. While domain-specific fine-tuning effectively injects medical knowledge into LLMs, it often causes catastrophic forgetting of previously acquired knowledge and instructio…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across various domains. However, for clinical diagnosis, higher expectations are required for LLM’s reliability and sensitivity: thinking like physicians and remaining sensitive to key medical information that affects diagnostic r…
Mastering medical knowledge is crucial for medical-specific LLMs. However, despite the existence of medical benchmarks like MedQA, a unified framework that fully leverages existing knowledge bases to evaluate LLMs' mastery of medical knowledge is still lacking. We propose PretexEval, a novel framewo…
Large language models (LLMs) have excelled across domains, also delivering notable performance on the medical evaluation benchmarks, such as MedQA. However, there still exists a significant gap between the reported performance and the practical effectiveness in real-world medical scenarios. In this…
The table-based fact verification task has recently gained widespread attention and yet remains to be a very challenging problem. It inherently requires informative reasoning over natural language together with different numerical and logical reasoning on tables (e.g., count, superlative, comparativ…
