Two Directions for Clinical Data Generation with Large Language Models: Data-to-Label and Label-to-Data (2023.findings-emnlp)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) can generate natural language texts for various domains and tasks, but their potential for clinical text mining is under-explored. |
| Approach: | They propose a pragmatic taxonomy for AD sign and symptom progression based on expert knowledge and train a system to detect AD-related signs and symptoms from EHRs. |
| Outcome: | The proposed taxonomy outperforms existing methods using only the gold dataset and silver datasets. |
LlamaCare: An Instruction Fine-Tuned Large Language Model for Clinical NLP (2024.lrec-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models have shown remarkable abilities in generating natural texts . applying LLMs to clinical domain still poses significant challenges . |
| Approach: | They propose a method of instruction fine-tuning for adapting large language models to clinical domains . they generate instructions, inputs, and outputs covering a wide spectrum of clinical services . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method outperforms baseline LLMs on clinical tasks . it requires domain adaptation, task-specific learning, and reliability . |
DualAlign: Generating Clinically Grounded Synthetic Data (2026.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Large language models (LLMs) can generate fluent clinical text, but ensuring that such outputs are clinically grounded and useful for downstream modeling remains challenging. |
| Approach: | They propose a disease-agnostic framework for generating privacy-preserving, clinically faithful synthetic EHR narratives. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework produces context-aware, symptom-rich sentences that more closely reflect real-world clinical documentation. |
NoteChat: A Dataset of Synthetic Patient-Physician Conversations Conditioned on Clinical Notes (2024.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | NoteChat is a cooperative multi-agent framework for generating patient-physician dialogues . evaluator finds it outperforms state-of-the-art models for generating clinical notes . clinical documentation is largely done by physicians at both steps . |
| Approach: | They propose a cooperative multi-agent framework leveraging Large Language Models to generate patient-physician dialogues. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework outperforms state-of-the-art models for generating clinical notes . it can engage patients directly and help clinical documentation, a leading cause of physician burnout . |
