Med-Evidence-2.6k

Med-Evidence-2.6k is a benchmark for evaluating evidence-grounded medical diagnostic reasoning. It was developed as part of the work EviDx: Evidence-Aware Active Diagnosis with Scaffolded LLM Agents, accepted to Findings of EMNLP 2026.

The benchmark provides clinical diagnostic questions paired with ground-truth answers and annotated evidence spans, enabling evaluation of both diagnostic accuracy and evidence-grounded reasoning.

Dataset Structure

Med-Evidence-2.6k currently contains three subsets:

  • DiagnosisArena
  • JAMA
  • MedXpertQA-Text

Note: During dataset curation, we selected 234 diagnosis-related cases from MedXpertQA-Text and annotated evidence for this subset.

Each subset is provided as a separate Hugging Face configuration.

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset(
    "danieez/Med-Evidence-2.6k",
    "DiagnosisArena"
)

print(dataset["test"][0])

The other subsets can be loaded by replacing "DiagnosisArena" with "JAMA" or "MedXpertQA-Text".

Data Format

Each example follows a unified schema:

{
  "original_id": "Text-107",
  "dataset": "MedXpertQA-Text",
  "ground_truth_text": "Truncus arteriosus",
  "question_text": "A male neonate, aged 2 weeks, ...",

    },
    {
      "original_text": "all peripheral pulses are bounding",
      "type": "Differentiation"
    }
  ]
}

Fields

Field Description
original_id Identifier of the example in the original source dataset.
dataset Name of the source subset in Med-Evidence-2.6k.
ground_truth_text Ground-truth diagnosis or answer.
question_text Full clinical question or case description presented to the model.
golden_evidence Annotated evidence spans relevant to the ground-truth answer.
golden_evidence.original_text Evidence span extracted directly from the question text.
golden_evidence.type Functional type of the evidence in diagnostic reasoning.

Intended Use

Med-Evidence-2.6k is intended for research on:

  • medical diagnostic reasoning;
  • evidence identification and extraction;
  • evidence-grounded question answering;
  • evaluation of clinical reasoning in large language models.

The dataset supports separate or joint evaluation of diagnostic answer correctness and evidence selection.
