arXiv:2605.30826v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Biomedical NER is deceptively simple for modern LLMs: plausible biomedical mentions are easy to surface, but corpus-convention correctness depends on annotation conventions, span boundaries, entity granularity, and type schemas. Multi-LLM agreement is a salience signal, not corpus-convention correctness. We introduce a candidate-level panel-output benchmark for panel-surfaced candidate verification, where the unit is an aligned candidate surfaced by an explicitly defined multi-model panel rather than a standalone extractor output. The benchmark
The proliferation of advanced LLMs highlights the need for robust verification methods beyond simple agreement for accurate biomedical entity recognition, particularly as misidentification has real-world consequences.
Accurate and reliable biomedical entity recognition is critical for advancing research, drug discovery, clinical decision support, and regulatory processes, directly impacting healthcare outcomes and R&D efficiency.
The focus shifts from merely surfacing plausible mentions by LLMs to implementing rigorous, benchmark-driven verification processes to ensure corpus-convention correctness in specialized domains like biomedicine.
