Single LLMs used as zero-shot annotators still perform poorly on clinical named entity recognition. The authors instead combine the outputs of three different LLMs: a general-purpose model, a medically adapted model and an… 2. **[J-ClinicalBench: A Benchmark for Evaluating Large Language Models on Practical Clinical Tasks in Japanese](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/shimizu-2026-j-clinicalbench-benchmark-evaluating-large/)** *(2026)* Clinical LLM evaluation is well established for English but not for Japanese. Strict privacy rules leave almost no shareable Japanese clinical text, and current Japanese medical benchmarks mostly rely on translated English data or licensing-exam questions. Neither reflects how real hospital records are written.… 3. **[MedNormJ: A Benchmark Dataset for Medical Concept Normalization in Japanese Clinical Documents](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/tashiro-2026-mednormj-benchmark-dataset-medical-concept/)** *(2026)* Japanese clinical NLP has had no shared benchmark for medical concept normalization, which links disease mentions in clinical text to concepts in a standard terminology. ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Eiji Aramaki](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/eiji-aramaki/) ×3 - [Shoko Wakamiya](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/shoko-wakamiya/) ×3 - [Tomohiro Nishiyama](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/tomohiro-nishiyama/) ×2 ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Workshop on Clinical Natural Language Processing (Clinical NLP) @ LREC](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/clinicalnlp/): [Workshop on Clinical Natural Language Processing (Clinical NLP) @ LREC 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/clinicalnlp/2026/) - [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/): [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/2026/) - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2026/) Updated 1 November 2026
