New system uses AI and formal methods for better clinical trial matching

Researchers have developed SatIR, a novel retrieval system designed to improve the matching of patients to clinical trials. This system goes beyond simple semantic similarity by treating trial eligibility criteria as formal constraints that must be satisfied. SatIR integrates Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT), relational algebra, medical ontologies, and LLMs to convert complex clinical information into executable constraints, enabling more accurate and efficient trial matching. AI

IMPACT This approach could significantly improve patient access to relevant clinical trials by overcoming limitations of traditional similarity-based search.

    SatIR: Scalable High-Recall Constraint-Satisfaction-Based Information Retrieval for Clinical Trials Matching

    arXiv:2604.08849v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Many important retrieval problems are not merely problems of semantic similarity, but problems of constraint satisfaction: a retrieved item should be topically relevant to a query and satisfy explicit requirements involvin…
