Configurable Clinical Information Extraction with Agentic RAG: What Works, What Breaks, and Why

Osman Alperen Çinar-Koraş, Marie Bauer, Sameh Khattab +7

Patient contexts span hundreds of heterogeneous documents and thousands of structured data points, yet the document-level metadata that AI systems need for retrieval and triage is…

Beyond Parameter Aggregation: Semantic Consensus for Federated Fine-Tuning of LLMs

Amr Abourayya, Jens Kleesiek, Michael Kamp

Federated fine-tuning of large language models is commonly formulated as a parameter aggregation problem. However, even parameter-efficient methods require transmitting large colle…

Less Finetuning, Better Retrieval: Rethinking LLM Adaptation for Biomedical Retrievers via Synthetic Data and Model Merging

Sameh Khattab, Jean-Philippe Corbeil, Osman Alperen Koraş +5

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) has become the backbone of grounding Large Language Models (LLMs), improving knowledge updates and reducing hallucinations. Recently, LLM-based…

AIANO: Enhancing Information Retrieval with AI-Augmented Annotation

Sameh Khattab, Marie Bauer, Lukas Heine +3

The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has rapidly increased the need for high-quality, curated information retrieval datasets. These dat…

A Modular Approach for Clinical SLMs Driven by Synthetic Data with Pre-Instruction Tuning, Model Merging, and Clinical-Tasks Alignment

Jean-Philippe Corbeil, Amin Dada, Jean-Michel Attendu +7

High computation costs and latency of large language models such as GPT-4 have limited their deployment in clinical settings. Small language models (SLMs) offer a cost-effective al…
