Can LLMs Reason Over Long Horizons? An Empirical Evaluation of Context Strategies for Longitudinal Clinical Reasoning

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.00562v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Longitudinal clinical reasoning requires large language models (LLMs) to identify and integrate relevant evidence distributed across extended patient histories. Although long-context models can process increasingly large amounts of information, providing more history does not necessarily make relevant evidence more accessible or improve reasoning. We compare five context strategies (Full, Recent, Episodic, Semantic, and Hybrid) on MedLoCoMo acros
