### Clinical NLP Tasks
|
| 84 |
+

|
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
+
We evaluateD MultiClinicalBERT on **8 clinical NLP tasks across 4 languages**:
|
| 87 |
|
| 88 |
- English: MIMIC-III Mortality, MIMIC-IV CDM
|
| 89 |
+
- Chinese: C-EMR, IMCS-V2 NER
|
| 90 |
- Japanese: IFMIR Incident Type, IFMIR NER
|
| 91 |
+
- Spanish: EHR De-identification, PPTS
|
| 92 |
+
|
| 93 |
+
### Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
|
| 94 |
+
|
| 95 |
+

|
| 96 |
+
|
| 97 |
+
We further evaluated whether MultiClinicalBERT could enhance downstream clinical classification by retrieving external, unlabeled knowledge from language-matched Wikipedia corpora.
|
| 98 |
+
|
| 99 |
+
Across four clinical classification benchmarks and three Qwen3.5 model sizes (i.e., 2B, 4B, 9B), MultiClinicalBERT achieved the highest overall average performance among the seven retrieval approaches.

|
| 107 |
- MIMIC-III Mortality: **89.40% accuracy**
|
| 108 |
- MIMIC-IV CDM: **92.18% accuracy**
|
| 109 |
+
- C-EMR: **94.24% accuracy**
|
| 110 |
- IFMIR NER: **86.21 F1**
