abstract
We introduce PubMedQA, a novel biomedical question answering (QA) dataset collected from PubMed abstracts. The task of PubMedQA is to answer research questions with yes/no/maybe (e.g.: Do preoperative statins reduce atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting?) using the corresponding abstracts. PubMedQA has 1k expert-annotated, 61.2k unlabeled and 211.3k artificially generated QA instances. Each PubMedQA instance is composed of (1) a question which is either an existing research article title or derived from one, (2) a context which is the corresponding abstract without its conclusion, (3) a long answer, which is the conclusion of the abstract and, presumably, answers the research question, and (4) a yes/no/maybe answer which summarizes the conclusion. PubMedQA is the first QA dataset where reasoning over biomedical research texts, especially their quantitative contents, is required to answer the questions. Our best performing model, multi-phase fine-tuning of BioBERT with long answer bag-of-word statistics as additional supervision, achieves 68.1% accuracy, compared to single human performance of 78.0% accuracy and majority-baseline of 55.2% accuracy, leaving much room for improvement. PubMedQA is publicly available at https://pubmedqa.github.io.

IBISAgent enables MLLMs to perform iterative pixel-level visual reasoning for biomedical object referring and segmentation via text-based clicks and agentic RL, outperforming prior SOTA methods without model modifications.
M3-Embedding is a single model for multi-lingual, multi-functional, and multi-granular text embeddings trained via self-knowledge distillation that achieves new state-of-the-art results on multilingual, cross-lingual, and long-document retrieval benchmarks.
GPT-4 exceeds the USMLE passing score by more than 20 points and outperforms both GPT-3.5 and the medically fine-tuned Med-PaLM on the MultiMedQA benchmarks.
Comparative evaluation of seven confidence constructions across 25 LLM-dataset pairs reveals that verbalized scores provide good ranking but coarse granularity for thresholding, while multi-query aggregation helps weak models but can harm strong ones.

PragLocker generates function-preserving but non-portable prompts for LLM agents via code-symbol semantic anchoring followed by target-model feedback noise injection.
Coupled constraints on weight updates in a safety subspace and regularization of SAE-identified safety features preserve LLM refusal behaviors during fine-tuning better than weight-only or activation-only methods.
MedDialBench shows LLMs suffer 1.7-3.4x larger diagnostic accuracy drops from patients fabricating symptoms than withholding them, with fabrication driving super-additive interaction effects across models.

HuatuoGPT-o1 achieves superior medical complex reasoning by using a verifier to curate reasoning trajectories for fine-tuning and then applying RL with verifier-based rewards.
An 8B Mamba-2-Hybrid with 43% Mamba-2, 7% attention, and 50% MLP layers exceeds an 8B Transformer by 2.65 points on average across 12 tasks and matches it on 23 long-context tasks while enabling up to 8x faster inference.
Multi-turn evidence seeking reduces LLM diagnostic accuracy by 12.75% and supporting-evidence quality by 24.36% versus full-context evaluation in a new OSCE-inspired benchmark across 468 cases and 15 models.
Claim-selective certification decomposes medical RAG responses into verifiable claims scored against retrieved evidence and mapped via an intent-aware selector to actions, reporting zero UCCR and action accuracy of 0.92 on dev and 0.90 on test.
