Reliable Extraction of Clinical Follow-Up Instructions: A Hybrid Neural-Symbolic Pipeline

arXiv:2605.26560v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Objective. Outpatient notes carry follow-up instructions pairing actions with future times ("MRI brain in two weeks"). Extracting (action, date) pairs supports scheduling and audit, but generative extractors miss the date because linking and arithmetic are implicit in decoding. We test a hybrid neural-symbolic pipeline against direct generation. Methods. We define TestSpecification and TimeSpecification entities and a ScheduledFor relation. BioBERT feeds BIO tagging and a biaffine linker; entities are canonicalized via a 28-action ontology and ti
