ArXi:2605.26560v1 Announce Type: cross Objective. Outpatient notes carry follow-up instructions pairing actions with future times ("MRI brain in two weeks"). Extracting (action, date) pairs s scheduling and audit, but generative extractors miss the date because linking and arithmetic are implicit in decoding. We test a hybrid neural-symbolic pipeline against direct generation. Methods. We define TestSpecification and TimeSpecification entities and a ScheduledFor relation.
