CAREAgent: Clinical Agent with Structured Reasoning and Tool-Integrated for Order GenerationRuihui Hou, Ziyue Huai, Chennuo Zhang et al.
Clinical order generation serves as a critical bridge between clinical decision-making and real-world practice, translating medical decisions into concrete and executable orders. Existing agents mainly focus on coarse-grained decisions and overlook the fine-grained, executable information required for clinical orders. To address this gap, we propose CAREAgent, an agent for clinical order generation. To support its training, we introduce a two-stage agentic reasoning data construction method. First, we design an agent framework that constructs verifiable reasoning trajectories aligned with realistic clinical tool usage. Second, we filter reasoning trajectories by format compliance, order validity, and clinical plausibility. Building on the constructed data, the model is first trained via supervised fine-tuning to acquire fundamental reasoning formats and medical knowledge, and is subsequently optimized through reinforcement learning with multi-dimensional reward functions to enhance complex clinical reasoning capabilities. Experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate the effectiveness of CAREAgent. On ClinicalBench (unseen during training), CAREAgent improves the F1 score by 5.05%, 2.09%, and 0.86% over the single-agent, multi-agent, and agentic reasoning methods, respectively.

Itinerary-aware Personalized Deep Matching at FliggyJia Xu, Ziyi Wang, Zulong Chen et al.
Matching items for a user from a travel item pool of large cardinality have been the most important technology for increasing the business at Fliggy, one of the most popular online travel platforms (OTPs) in China. There are three major challenges facing OTPs: sparsity, diversity, and implicitness. In this paper, we present a novel Fliggy ITinerary-aware deep matching NETwork (FitNET) to address these three challenges. FitNET is designed based on the popular deep matching network, which has been successfully employed in many industrial recommendation systems, due to its effectiveness. The concept itinerary is firstly proposed under the context of recommendation systems for OTPs, which is defined as the list of unconsumed orders of a user. All orders in a user itinerary are learned as a whole, based on which the implicit travel intention of each user can be more accurately inferred. To alleviate the sparsity problem, users' profiles are incorporated into FitNET. Meanwhile, a series of itinerary-aware attention mechanisms that capture the vital interactions between user's itinerary and other input categories are carefully designed. These mechanisms are very helpful in inferring a user's travel intention or preference, and handling the diversity in a user's need. Further, two training objectives, i.e., prediction accuracy of user's travel intention and prediction accuracy of user's click behavior, are utilized by FitNET, so that these two objectives can be optimized simultaneously. An offline experiment on Fliggy production dataset with over 0.27 million users and 1.55 million travel items, and an online A/B test both show that FitNET effectively learns users' travel intentions, preferences, and diverse needs, based on their itineraries and gains superior performance compared with state-of-the-art methods. FitNET now has been successfully deployed at Fliggy, serving major online traffic.
