CLR-voyance: Reinforcing Open-Ended Reasoning for Inpatient Clinical Decision Support with Outcome-Aware Rubrics

Researchers introduce CLR-voyance, a framework that treats inpatient clinical reasoning as a partially observable decision process with outcome-grounded rewards validated by clinicians. The resulting CLR-voyance-8B model outperforms GPT-5 and larger medical models on clinical benchmarks while maintaining generalist capabilities, and has been deployed in a hospital for six months.

The Context Gathering Decision Process: A POMDP Framework for Agentic Search

Researchers introduce the Context Gathering Decision Process (CGDP), a POMDP framework that formalizes how LLM agents should search and gather information from environments exceeding their context windows. The approach yields measurable improvements in multi-hop reasoning (up to 11.4%) and token efficiency (up to 39% savings) through explicit belief state management and programmatic exhaustion detection.

MedExAgent: Training LLM Agents to Ask, Examine, and Diagnose in Noisy Clinical Environments

Researchers introduce MedExAgent, an AI system trained to perform clinical diagnosis through a POMDP framework that simulates real-world complexity including patient interaction, medical exams, and noisy data. The model uses supervised finetuning and reinforcement learning to balance diagnostic accuracy with cost-efficiency, achieving performance comparable to larger models while maintaining practical clinical constraints.

Accelerated Online Risk-Averse Policy Evaluation in POMDPs with Theoretical Guarantees and Novel CVaR Bounds

Researchers developed a new theoretical framework for accelerated risk-averse policy evaluation in partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) using Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) bounds. The method enables safe elimination of suboptimal actions while maintaining computational guarantees, achieving substantial speedups in autonomous agent decision-making under uncertainty.

When Does Adaptive Guidance Help? Belief-Aware Privileged Distillation for Autonomous Driving Under Partial Observability

Researchers present Belief-Aware GSAC, an adaptive knowledge distillation method for autonomous driving that modulates teacher guidance based on ensemble disagreement. Testing reveals that adaptive guidance helps under mild-to-moderate partial observability but fails under severe occlusion due to 'observability blindness'—where ensembles achieve low disagreement on visible data while missing occluded information.

Planning under Distribution Shifts with Causal POMDPs

Researchers propose a new theoretical framework for AI planning under changing conditions using causal POMDPs (Partially Observable Markov Decision Processes). The framework represents environmental changes as interventions, enabling AI systems to evaluate and adapt plans when underlying conditions shift while maintaining computational tractability.
