PULSAR at MEDIQA-Sum 2023: Large Language Models Augmented by Synthetic Dialogue Convert Patient Dialogues to Medical Records
This paper describes PULSAR, our system submission at the ImageClef 2023 MediQA-Sum task on summarising patient-doctor dialogues into clinical records. The proposed framework relies on domain-specific pre-training, to produce a specialised language model which is trained on task-specific natural data augmented by synthetic data generated by a black-box LLM. We find limited evidence towards the efficacy of domain-specific pre-training and data augmentation, while scaling up the language model yields the best performance gains. Our approach was ranked second and third among 13 submissions on task B of the challenge. Our code is available at https://github.com/yuping-wu/PULSAR.
