Reliable Extraction of Clinical Follow-Up Instructions: A Hybrid Neural-Symbolic Pipeline

In three linesHybrid neural-symbolic pipeline extracts clinical follow-up instructions (action, date) from outpatient notes. BioBERT + BIO tagging + biaffine linker + deterministic date normalization outperforms GPT-4o-mini and fine-tuned LLaMA-3: Pair F1 0.997 (seen) vs 0.51-0.57 for baselines.
