Although healthcare documentation is increasingly dependent on speech-based clinical interactions, general-purpose Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and Large Language Models (LLMs) lack the domain adaptation, structured control and interoperability guarantees required in regulated medical environments. These limitations often result in transcription errors, hallucinated content, and limited alignment with standardized coding systems. This paper introduces MedicaLLM, a multilingual, end-to-end framework integrating domain-adapted ASR, LLM-based structured report generation, and ontology-driven semantic enrichment within a modular architecture for clinical documentation. MedicaLLM combines medical interview transcription with structured report generation, summarization, and error correction; Named Entity Recognition (NER); and Medical Entity Linking (MEL) to align with standards such as SNOMED-CT and ICD-10. Deployed as a secure software as a service (SaaS) platform with REST API integration, MedicaLLM aims to reduce the administrative burden, improve the quality of documentation, and enhance semantic interoperability across healthcare systems, all while maintaining computational efficiency and clinical reliability.

These working notes describe the UMUTeam’s participation in Task 8 of SemEval-2024 entitled “Multigenerator, Multidomain, and Multilingual Black-Box Machine-Generated Text Detection”. This shared task aims at identifying machine-generated text in order to mitigate its potential misuse. This shared task is divided into three subtasks: Subtask A, a binary classification task to determine whether a given full-text was written by a human or generated by a machine; Subtask B, a multi-class classification problem to determine, given a full-text, who generated it. It can be written by a human or generated by a specific language model; and Subtask C, mixed human-machine text recognition. We participated in Subtask B, using an approach based on fine-tuning a pre-trained model, such as RoBERTa, combined with syntactic features of the texts. Our system placed 23rd out of a total of 77 participants, with a score of 75.350%, outperforming the baseline.

Feature Engineering consists in the application of domain knowledge to select and transform relevant features to build efficient machine learning models. In the Natural Language Processing field, the state of the art concerning automatic document classification tasks relies on word and sentence embeddings built upon deep learning models based on transformers that have outperformed the competition in several tasks. However, the models built from these embeddings are usually difficult to interpret. On the contrary, linguistic features are easy to understand, they result in simpler models, and they usually achieve encouraging results. Moreover, both linguistic features and embeddings can be combined with different strategies which result in more reliable machine-learning models. The de facto tool for extracting linguistic features in Spanish is LIWC. However, this software does not consider specific linguistic phenomena of Spanish such as grammatical gender and lacks certain verb tenses. In order to solve these drawbacks, we have developed UMUTextStats, a linguistic extraction tool designed from scratch for Spanish. Furthermore, this tool has been validated to conduct different experiments in areas such as infodemiology, hate-speech detection, author profiling, authorship verification, humour or irony detection, among others. The results indicate that the combination of linguistic features and embeddings based on transformers are beneficial in automatic document classification.
