DEMNE: Determination of Extraction Method for Named Entity

Longeac C. et al.

Manuscrito que detalla el framework en cascada DEMNE, las cinco métricas de caracterización de corpus usadas para la selección de paradigma, y los resultados de calibración de la búsqueda en cuadrícula en tres corpus de oncología franceses.

Results, at a glance

DEMNE learns, per entity, whether to route it to rules, a lightweight model, or an LLM. Three views: how well it generalises from one clinical domain to another, its per-corpus performance in oncology, and its margin over fixed-tier strategies.

Each row is a configuration optimised on one domain; each column, the domain it is evaluated on. Darker cells mean higher routing concordance. The diagonal dominates — every configuration is strongest on its own domain — yet the off-diagonal cells stay high: the learned routing rules transfer from one clinical corpus to another.

Protocol B, oncology domain. Concordance = share of entities routed to the optimal tier; cost-score = quality weighted by compute cost. On Cantemist and ESMO 2025 routing is perfect; under leave-one-corpus-out cross-validation (LOCO) it holds at 0.866.

Why adaptive routing

Two naive strategies: route everything to rules, or everything to the LLM. Rules alone are fast but miss the hard cases (0.729); the LLM alone is costly and surprisingly low-concordance (0.148). DEMNE's adaptive routing reaches 0.954 concordance at a 0.947 cost-score.
