Innov8rs at CRF Filling 2026: An Iterative Multi-LLM Ensemble Pipeline with Dynamic Few-Shot Retrieval and Data-Driven Precision Filtering
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: In this paper, we present the technical report on the CL4Health 2026 Shared Task on Case Report Form (CRF) filling for our team Innov8rs.The paper explains the complete development of our system for the CL4Health 2026 Shared Task.We describe every phase of our system -from initial catastrophic failures with small models producing over 4, 800 false positives, through prompt engineering breakthroughs, to our final multi-LLM ensemble combining Gemini 2.5 Flash and Llama 3.3 70B with dynamic TF-IDF-based few-shot retrieval.The main contribution of this work is a data-driven precision filter that suppresses predictions for CRF items with historically high false-positive rates.This single intervention reduced false positives from 816 to 171 on the English development set, boosting macro-F1 from 0.541 to 0.703.We document the engineering challenges of multi-API-key rotation across 11 Google API keys and 2 Groq keys, the design of four distinct ensemble strategies, and the critical analysis of why development-calibrated filters suffered from distribution shift on test data (final test F1: 0.47).
