Bridging the English-Arabic Medical Knowledge Gap: Targeted Low-Rank Adaptation via Causal Layer Selection

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-08-04 Cached

This paper investigates why LLMs underperform in Arabic medical tasks, showing via mechanistic analysis that knowledge exists internally but fails to surface, then proposes TLoRA, a targeted low-rank adaptation method that outperforms full-network LoRA on medical QA and introduces a new Arabic clinical dialogue benchmark.

A Mechanistic View of Authority Hierarchy in LLM Sycophancy

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-07-02 Cached

This paper investigates authority bias in LLMs using a controlled medical QA setting, revealing that models override correct answers in a graded manner proportional to perceived authority. The effect is localized to a critical late layer where correct answer representations are actively erased.

Clinically Structured Rank-Gated LoRA for Cross-Benchmark Medical Question Answering

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-07-01 Cached

The paper proposes BiRG-LoRA, a rank-gated LoRA method for medical question answering that uses clinically structured priors to select sparse rank subsets, achieving 69.31% macro-average accuracy across four benchmarks while using fewer parameters than mixture-of-experts approaches.

Let LLMs Judge Each Other: Multi-Agent Peer-Reviewed Reasoning for Medical Question Answering

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-06-16 Cached

This paper introduces a multi-agent peer-reviewed reasoning method where multiple LLMs independently generate chain-of-thought reasoning and then evaluate each other's outputs to select the best answer. The method outperforms single-model reasoning and majority voting on medical QA benchmarks.

Can I Take Another Dose? Evaluating LLM Decision-Making Under Temporal Uncertainty in OTC Dosing QA

arXiv cs.CL · 2026-06-04 Cached

Researchers introduce DoseBench, a benchmark of 81 OTC dosing scenarios to evaluate LLM decision-making under temporal uncertainty for acetaminophen and ibuprofen use. Results show LLMs frequently struggle with rolling-window reasoning and can produce confident but medically unsupported responses.
