UMASS_BioNLP at MEDIQA-Chat 2023: Can LLMs generate high-quality synthetic note-oriented doctor-patient conversations?

1 code implementation29 Jun 2023 Junda Wang, Zonghai Yao, Avijit Mitra, Samuel Osebe, Zhichao Yang, Hong Yu

This paper presents UMASS_BioNLP team participation in the MEDIQA-Chat 2023 shared task for Task-A and Task-C. We focus especially on Task-C and propose a novel LLMs cooperation system named a doctor-patient loop to generate high-quality conversation data sets.

Revisiting the Architectures like Pointer Networks to Efficiently Improve the Next Word Distribution, Summarization Factuality, and Beyond

1 code implementation20 May 2023 Haw-Shiuan Chang, Zonghai Yao, Alolika Gon, Hong Yu, Andrew McCallum

Is the output softmax layer, which is adopted by most language models (LMs), always the best way to compute the next word probability?

Automated Identification of Eviction Status from Electronic Health Record Notes

1 code implementation6 Dec 2022 Zonghai Yao, Jack Tsai, Weisong Liu, David A. Levy, Emily Druhl, Joel I Reisman, Hong Yu

Materials and Methods: We first defined eviction status (eviction presence and eviction period) and then annotated eviction status in 5000 EHR notes from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA).

Multi-label Few-shot ICD Coding as Autoregressive Generation with Prompt

1 code implementation24 Nov 2022 Zhichao Yang, Sunjae Kwon, Zonghai Yao, Hong Yu

This task is challenging due to the high-dimensional space of multi-label assignment (155, 000+ ICD code candidates) and the long-tail challenge - Many ICD codes are infrequently assigned yet infrequent ICD codes are important clinically.
