Self-Supervised Intermediate Fine-Tuning of Biomedical Language Models for Interpreting Patient Case Descriptions (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work has found that biomedical language models lack the knowledge needed for such tasks. |
| Approach: | They propose to fine-tune biomedical language models on the task of predicting masked medical concepts from PubMed abstracts to improve their performance. |
| Outcome: | The proposed strategy improves the performance of biomedical language models on the task of predicting masked medical concepts from patient case descriptions. |
Probing Pre-Trained Language Models for Disease Knowledge (2021.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pre-trained language models perform medical reasoning tasks, but standard benchmarks lack examples that require such forms of reasoning. |
| Approach: | They propose a medical reasoning benchmark that uses pre-trained language models to analyze medical reasoning in the biomedical domain. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmarks are based on pre-trained language models that perform medical reasoning tasks. |
