Can Large Language Models Self-Correct in Medical Question Answering? An Exploratory Study

Researchers have explored whether large language models can self-correct in medical question answering through iterative reflection loops, using GPT-4o and related models on three benchmarks. The study finds that while self-reflection modestly improves accuracy on one dataset, it offers limited or negative benefits on others, indicating its effectiveness is highly dependent on the model and dataset used. This suggests self-reflection may be more useful for analyzing model behavior than as a standalone method to enhance reliability in medical settings.
