GPBench: A Comprehensive and Fine-Grained Benchmark for Evaluating Large Language Models as General Practitioners

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

General practitioners (GPs) serve as the cornerstone of primary healthcare systems by providing continuous and comprehensive medical services. However, due to community-oriented nature of their practice, uneven training and resource gaps, the clinical proficiency among GPs can vary significantly across regions and healthcare settings. Currently, Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated great potential in clinical and medical applications, making them a promising tool for supporting general practice. However, most existing benchmarks and evaluation frameworks focus on exam-style assessments-typically multiple-choice question-lack comprehensive assessment sets that accurately mirror the real-world scenarios encountered by GPs. To evaluate how effectively LLMs can make decisions in the daily work of GPs, we designed GPBench, which consists of both test questions from clinical practice and a novel evaluation framework. The test set includes multiple-choice questions that assess fundamental knowledge of general practice, as well as realistic, scenario-based problems. All questions are meticulously annotated by experts, incorporating rich fine-grained information related to clinical management. The proposed LLM evaluation framework is based on the competency model for general practice, providing a comprehensive methodology for assessing LLM performance in real-world settings. As the first large-model evaluation set targeting GP decision-making scenarios, GPBench allows us to evaluate current mainstream LLMs. Expert assessment and evaluation reveal that in areas such as disease staging, complication recognition, treatment detail, and medication usage, these models exhibit at least ten major shortcomings. Overall, existing LLMs are not yet suitable for independent use in real-world GP working scenarios without human oversight.


Progression Cognition Reinforcement Learning with Prioritized Experience for Multi-Vehicle Pursuit

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Multi-vehicle pursuit (MVP) such as autonomous police vehicles pursuing suspects is important but very challenging due to its mission and safety critical nature. While multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) algorithms have been proposed for MVP problem in structured grid-pattern roads, the existing algorithms use randomly training samples in centralized learning, which leads to homogeneous agents showing low collaboration performance. For the more challenging problem of pursuing multiple evading vehicles, these algorithms typically select a fixed target evading vehicle for pursuing vehicles without considering dynamic traffic situation, which significantly reduces pursuing success rate. To address the above problems, this paper proposes a Progression Cognition Reinforcement Learning with Prioritized Experience for MVP (PEPCRL-MVP) in urban multi-intersection dynamic traffic scenes. PEPCRL-MVP uses a prioritization network to assess the transitions in the global experience replay buffer according to the parameters of each MARL agent. With the personalized and prioritized experience set selected via the prioritization network, diversity is introduced to the learning process of MARL, which can improve collaboration and task related performance. Furthermore, PEPCRL-MVP employs an attention module to extract critical features from complex urban traffic environments. These features are used to develop progression cognition method to adaptively group pursuing vehicles. Each group efficiently target one evading vehicle in dynamic driving environments. Extensive experiments conducted with a simulator over unstructured roads of an urban area show that PEPCRL-MVP is superior to other state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, PEPCRL-MVP improves pursuing efficiency by 3.95% over TD3-DMAP and its success rate is 34.78% higher than that of MADDPG. Codes are open sourced.


KGSynNet: A Novel Entity Synonyms Discovery Framework with Knowledge Graph

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Entity synonyms discovery is crucial for entity-leveraging applications. However, existing studies suffer from several critical issues: (1) the input mentions may be out-of-vocabulary (OOV) and may come from a different semantic space of the entities; (2) the connection between mentions and entities may be hidden and cannot be established by surface matching; and (3) some entities rarely appear due to the long-tail effect. To tackle these challenges, we facilitate knowledge graphs and propose a novel entity synonyms discovery framework, named \emph{KGSynNet}. Specifically, we pre-train subword embeddings for mentions and entities using a large-scale domain-specific corpus while learning the knowledge embeddings of entities via a joint TransC-TransE model. More importantly, to obtain a comprehensive representation of entities, we employ a specifically designed \emph{fusion gate} to adaptively absorb the entities' knowledge information into their semantic features. We conduct extensive experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of our \emph{KGSynNet} in leveraging the knowledge graph. The experimental results show that the \emph{KGSynNet} improves the state-of-the-art methods by 14.7\% in terms of hits@3 in the offline evaluation and outperforms the BERT model by 8.3\% in the positive feedback rate of an online A/B test on the entity linking module of a question answering system.
