PVminerLLM2: Improving Structured Extraction of Patient Voice via Preference Optimization

arXiv:2606.16074v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Motivation: Patient-generated text contains critical information on patients' lived experiences, social context, and care engagement, but remains largely unstructured, limiting its use in patient-centered outcomes research. Prior work introduced the PV-Miner benchmark and PVMinerLLM models for structured extraction. However, supervised fine-tuning (SFT) alone struggles with rare, fine-grained, and unevenly distributed errors, particularly in token-critical structured outputs. Results: We present PVminerLLM2, an improved set of LLMs for structured

Why this matters
Why now

The continuous improvement of large language models (LLMs) and advanced optimization techniques is enabling more precise and reliable extraction from complex, unstructured data, such as patient-generated text.

Why it’s important

This development enhances the ability to derive actionable insights from patient experiences, crucial for patient-centered outcomes research and improving healthcare quality.

What changes

The accuracy and reliability of structured information extraction from patient voice data are significantly improved, reducing errors and broadening potential applications in healthcare analytics.
