The proposed novel framework aligns generated internal knowledge with external knowledge through in-context learning (ICL), effectively increasing the accuracy of extracting lung lesion information from clinical and medical imaging reports. Large language models (LLMs) are employed to interpret unstructured text, but often hallucinate due to a lack of domain-specific knowledge. The framework uses a retriever to identify relevant units of internal or external knowledge and a grader to evaluate truthfulness and helpfulness, updating the knowledge bases. Experimental results on expert-curated test datasets demonstrate an average increase in F1 score for key fields (lesion size, margin, and solidity) by 12.9% over existing ICL methods.

A new way to help computers better understand medical reports is being developed. These reports often contain important information about lung diseases, but it’s hard for computers to extract that information accurately because they don’t always have the right knowledge. A team has created a new framework that uses large language models and other tools to help computers learn from both their own internal knowledge and external sources of information. This approach can improve the accuracy of extracting important details like lesion size, margin, and solidity by an average of 12.9% compared to current methods.
