SUP-MIMIC: A Multi-Task Clinical Diagnosis Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs' Robustness to Contradictory Evidence

精选理由

SUP-MIMIC 基准测试揭示了 LLM 在临床诊断推理中的缺陷,特别是对矛盾证据的处理能力不足。

AI 摘要

SUP-MIMIC 是一个基于 MIMIC-IV-v3.1 的多任务框架,包含基础评估(BA)、诊断发散任务(DDT)和诊断收敛任务(DCT)。DDT 评估模型对表型相似病例的"一对多"区分能力,DCT 评估模型对不同病理通路的"多对一"诊断模式识别能力。研究显示,最先进 LLM 在 DDT 和 DCT 上的性能显著下降,暴露了模型对统计捷径的系统性依赖。

SUP-MIMIC: A Multi-Task Clinical Diagnosis Benchmark for Evaluating LLMs' Robustness to Contradictory Evidence

Current evaluations of large language models (LLMs) primarily focus on factual knowledge retrieval, overlooking the fundamental challenge of navigating the complex, non-bijective mappings between clinical indicators and diagnoses. Existing benchmarks fail to assess whether large language models truly possess the reasoning capability required for diagnostic ambiguity scenarios, where identical clinical presentations may correspond to different etiologies, and diagnostic convergence scenarios, where heterogeneous symptoms ultimately indicate the same disease. To address this issue, we propose SUP-MIMIC, a multi-task framework utilizing MIMIC-IV-v3.1 that comprises Basic Assessment (BA), Diagnostic Divergence Task (DDT), and Diagnostic Convergence Task (DCT). Specifically, DDT is designed to evaluate the model's "one-to-many" disambiguation capability among phenotypically similar cases, while DCT assesses the model's ability to identify "many-to-one" diagnostic patterns across different pathophysiological pathways. Comprehensive evaluation of state-of-the-art LLMs reveals substantial performance degradation on DDT and DCT compared to baseline tasks, exposing a systemic reliance on statistical shortcuts over genuine causal reasoning. Our findings further highlight a conservative bias toward "healthy" predictions, implying non-trivial risks for missed diagnoses in realistic medical settings. This work establishes a rigorous methodology for quantifying clinical reasoning robustness and provides a roadmap for enhancing the safety of language models in clinical medicine.
