MedTextWeaver: Procedural Knowledge Evolution in Agentic Medical Text Editing

Medical text editing is essential for improving communication among diverse stakeholders in clinical settings. However, adapting LLM agents to this task remains challenging because expert supervision is often sparse, fragmented, and distributed across interacting quality dimensions. We identify that direct accumulation or retrieval of individual feedback is insufficient for effective adaptation, as fragmented evaluations do not directly translate into a coherent understanding of medical text quality. Based on this observation, we propose MedTextWeaver, a training-free framework that transforms fragmented evaluative evidence into global quality principles and actionable procedural knowledge for medical text editing. Across three clinical text datasets and a real-world validation experiment, MedTextWeaver consistently improves performance over strong LLM baselines and existing memory-based adaptation approaches. Further analysis demonstrates that the learned knowledge enables more effective adaptation under limited supervision while providing an explicit and interpretable interface between expert evaluations and LLM editing behavior.

LongChart VQA: A Comprehensive Benchmark for MLLMs with Complex Multi-Chart Reasoning

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) are rapidly evolving with expanded context windows and stronger reasoning capabilities, enabling multi-chart understanding and multi-step inference. These abilities are increasingly important as MLLMs are adopted in complex agentic tasks. However, existing benchmarks largely emphasize single-chart perception, while simple chart-to-chart connections are insufficient to evaluate these capabilities. To capture multi-chart complexity while ensuring consistency and validity, we design a synthesis pipeline supported by latent graphs. Building on this pipeline, we introduce LongChart, a benchmark whose VQA sets contain an average of 6.5 images and 31.2 questions. We evaluate 10 state-of-the-art MLLMs and examine three factors that influence performance: reasoning patterns, auxiliary tools, and robustness to image perturbations. Our results show that MLLM accuracy decreases and varies substantially as computational complexity increases, highlighting directions for future research in multi-chart reasoning.
