| Challenge: | Using pretrained transformer models for automatically summarizing doctor-patient conversations presents challenges . limited training data, domain shift, long and noisy transcripts, and high target summary variability are challenges compared to human annotators. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for fine-tuning pretrained transformer models for automatically summarizing doctor-patient conversations directly from transcripts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method surpasses the performance of an average human annotator and the quality of previous published work for the task. |
