Investigating Linear Probe Robustness to Linguistic Register, Medical Specialty, and Corpus Shifts in Medical QA

Nishant Mishra, Ameen Abu-Hanna, Iacer Calixto

Linear classifiers trained on hidden states of a large language model (LLM), linear probes, can flag factual errors from a single forward pass. Geometrically, that implies that tru…

Beyond Scale and Generation: Understanding Language Model-based Entity Matching

Zeyu Zhang, Xue Li, Iacer Calixto +2

Entity matching identifies records that refer to the same real-world entity. Language models can be adapted to this task through bi-encoder, cross-encoder, and generative matcher a…

Uncertainty Is Not a Safety Net for Clinical VQA, but Can It Anticipate Model Failure?

Arnisa Fazla, Alberto Testoni, Ameen Abu-Hanna +2

Safe deployment of clinical vision-language models (VLMs) requires reliable uncertainty estimation (UE): a signal indicating when predictions should be trusted or escalated to a cl…

Differentially Private De-identification of Dutch Clinical Notes: A Comparative Evaluation

Michele Miranda, Xinlan Yan, Nishant Mishra +4

Protecting patient privacy in clinical narratives is essential for enabling secondary use of healthcare data under regulations such as GDPR and HIPAA. While manual de-identificatio…

Calibrated? Not for Everyone: How Sexual Orientation and Religious Markers Distort LLM Accuracy and Confidence in Medical QA

Alberto Testoni, Iacer Calixto

Safe clinical deployment of Large Language Models (LLMs) requires not only high accuracy but also robust uncertainty calibration to ensure models defer to clinicians when appropria…

FewMMBench: A Benchmark for Multimodal Few-Shot Learning

Mustafa Dogan, Ilker Kesen, Iacer Calixto +2

As multimodal large language models (MLLMs) advance in handling interleaved image-text data, assessing their few-shot learning capabilities remains an open challenge. In this paper…
