Compartmentalised Agentic Reasoning for Clinical NLI

Maël Jullien, Lei Xu, Marco Valentino +1

Large language models can produce fluent judgments for clinical natural language inference, yet they frequently fail when the decision requires the correct inferential schema rathe…

The Knowledge-Reasoning Dissociation: Fundamental Limitations of LLMs in Clinical Natural Language Inference

Maël Jullien, Marco Valentino, André Freitas

Large language models are often assumed to acquire increasingly structured, generalizable internal representations simply by scaling data and parameters. We interrogate this assump…

Dissecting Clinical Reasoning in Language Models: A Comparative Study of Prompts and Model Adaptation Strategies

Mael Jullien, Marco Valentino, Leonardo Ranaldi +1

Recent works on large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated the impact of prompting strategies and fine-tuning techniques on their reasoning capabilities. Yet, their effectivene…

Controlled LLM-based Reasoning for Clinical Trial Retrieval

Mael Jullien, Alex Bogatu, Harriet Unsworth +1

Matching patients to clinical trials demands a systematic and reasoned interpretation of documents which require significant expert-level background knowledge, over a complex set o…

SemEval-2024 Task 2: Safe Biomedical Natural Language Inference for Clinical Trials

Mael Jullien, Marco Valentino, André Freitas

Large Language Models (LLMs) are at the forefront of NLP achievements but fall short in dealing with shortcut learning, factual inconsistency, and vulnerability to adversarial inpu…

Do Transformers Encode a Foundational Ontology? Probing Abstract Classes in Natural Language

Mael Jullien, Marco Valentino, Andre Freitas

With the methodological support of probing (or diagnostic classification), recent studies have demonstrated that Transformers encode syntactic and semantic information to some exte…
