The strongest current systems call large language models many times per document, which is too costly for large-scale information extraction. Word-level coreference (WL-coref) is much cheaper. A single pass of roberta-large produces word… 2. **[Modeling Clinical Uncertainty in Radiology Reports: From Explicit Uncertainty Markers to Implicit Reasoning Pathways](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/rabaey-2026-modeling-clinical-uncertainty-radiology-reports/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Chest X-ray reports carry two kinds of uncertainty that structuring pipelines usually miss. The first is explicit: radiologists hedge with words like "likely" or "cannot be excluded", and how strong that hedge is depends on context. The second is implicit: reports often state only a diagnosis and leave out the… ## Also in our library 5 more works of theirs are in our library without a page here yet; they will appear as we publish them. ## Co-authors here 2 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Christopher Potts](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/christopher-potts/) - [Karel D'Oosterlinck](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/karel-d-oosterlinck/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 89 times (of the 140 884 papers whose bibliographies we read); [5 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/thomas-demeester/cited-by/).
