ReasonMed: A 370K Multi-Agent Generated Dataset for Advancing Medical Reasoning

Published: 2025-06-11

Link: http://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.09513

1. 📘 Topic and Domain: Creation of a large medical reasoning dataset using multi-agent language models for improving medical question-answering capabilities.
2. 💡 Previous Research and New Ideas: Based on previous work in chain-of-thought prompting and multi-agent frameworks; introduces a novel multi-stage verification and refinement process to generate high-quality medical reasoning data.
3. ❓ Problem: Current medical reasoning datasets are limited in size and quality, restricting language models' ability to perform complex medical question answering tasks.
4. 🛠️ Methods: Used multiple large language models to generate 1.7M reasoning paths, applied a multi-agent verification system to filter and refine them into 370K high-quality examples, and developed three different fine-tuning strategies (CoT, Response, Reason).
5. 📊 Results and Evaluation: The resulting ReasonMed-7B model outperformed prior best sub-10B models by 4.17% and exceeded LLaMA3.1-70B on PubMedQA by 4.60%, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance for its size on medical QA benchmarks.
