Researchers have developed a novel method called "Scale-to-Dialogue" that uses small language models to efficiently collect daily premenstrual symptom ratings. This approach frames conversational administration as an ordinal label-recovery problem, where the system elicits symptom clusters and maps responses to severity labels. Using the mcPHASES dataset, a ModernBERT evidence gate and Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct model were employed to achieve high agreement with original severity scales while significantly reducing the number of questions asked.
