  • 多个开源大模型协同投票,通过多数决机制提升准确性
  • 在62万份心电图报告上实现98.2%准确率,大幅减少人工标注
  • 适合医疗文本标注、数据清洗等需要高可靠性的场景

本研究提出一种基于大语言模型的多智能体集成方法,用于解决电子健康记录(EHR)数据标注中的幻觉与效率问题。针对大规模未标注心电图数据集(MIMIC-IV),采用多样化的开源大模型组合,以多数投票机制进行集成决策,成功标注了623,566份心电图报告,估计准确率达98.2%。同时,该方法应用于1,405份临床笔记中社会决定健康因素(SDOH)的识别任务,表现优异。实验表明,集成模型优于单个大模型,包括顶尖商业模型,且显著降低幻觉错误。该方法可大幅缩短标注时间,提升质量,并具备良好泛化能力,适用于多种文本标注任务。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This study introduces a LLMs powered multiagent ensemble method to address challenges in hallucination and data labeling, particularly in large-scale EHR datasets. Manual labeling of such datasets requires domain expertise and is labor-intensive, time-consuming, expensive, and error-prone. To overcome this bottleneck, we developed an ensemble LLMs method and demonstrated its effectiveness in two real-world tasks: (1) labeling a large-scale unlabeled ECG dataset in MIMIC-IV; (2) identifying social determinants of health (SDOH) from the clinical notes of EHR. Trading off benefits and cost, we selected a pool of diverse open source LLMs with satisfactory performance. We treat each LLM's prediction as a vote and apply a mechanism of majority voting with minimal winning threshold for ensemble. We implemented an ensemble LLMs application for EHR data labeling tasks. By using the ensemble LLMs and natural language processing, we labeled MIMIC-IV ECG dataset of 623,566 ECG reports with an estimated accuracy of 98.2%. We applied the ensemble LLMs method to identify SDOH from social history sections of 1,405 EHR clinical notes, also achieving competitive performance. Our experiments show that the ensemble LLMs can outperform individual LLM even the best commercial one, and the method reduces hallucination errors. From the research, we found that (1) the ensemble LLMs method significantly reduces the time and effort required for labeling large-scale EHR data, automating the process with high accuracy and quality; (2) the method generalizes well to other text data labeling tasks, as shown by its application to SDOH identification; (3) the ensemble of a group of diverse LLMs can outperform or match the performance of the best individual LLM; and (4) the ensemble method substantially reduces hallucination errors. This approach provides a scalable and efficient solution to data-labeling challenges.
