From Sparse to Dense: GPT-4 Summarization with Chain of Density Prompting

Griffin Adams, Alexander Fabbri, Faisal Ladhak +2

Selecting the ``right'' amount of information to include in a summary is a difficult task. A good summary should be detailed and entity-centric without being overly dense and hard…

Do We Still Need Clinical Language Models?

Eric Lehman, Evan Hernandez, Diwakar Mahajan +7

Although recent advances in scaling large language models (LLMs) have resulted in improvements on many NLP tasks, it remains unclear whether these models trained primarily with gen…

Learning to Ask Like a Physician

Eric Lehman, Vladislav Lialin, Katelyn Y. Legaspi +15

Existing question answering (QA) datasets derived from electronic health records (EHR) are artificially generated and consequently fail to capture realistic physician information n…

Evidence Inference 2.0: More Data, Better Models

Jay DeYoung, Eric Lehman, Ben Nye +2

How do we most effectively treat a disease or condition? Ideally, we could consult a database of evidence gleaned from clinical trials to answer such questions. Unfortunately, no s…

ERASER: A Benchmark to Evaluate Rationalized NLP Models

Jay DeYoung, Sarthak Jain, Nazneen Fatema Rajani +4

State-of-the-art models in NLP are now predominantly based on deep neural networks that are opaque in terms of how they come to make predictions. This limitation has increased inte…

Inferring Which Medical Treatments Work from Reports of Clinical Trials

Eric Lehman, Jay DeYoung, Regina Barzilay +1

How do we know if a particular medical treatment actually works? Ideally one would consult all available evidence from relevant clinical trials. Unfortunately, such results are pri…
