NewAgeHealthWarriors at MEDIQA-Chat 2023 Task A: Summarizing Short Medical Conversation with Transformers
Prakhar Mishra, Ravi Theja Desetty · 2023
This paper presents the MEDIQA-Chat 2023 shared task organized at the ACL-Clinical NLP workshop.The shared task is motivated by the need to develop methods to automatically generate clinical notes from doctor-patient conversations.In this paper, we present our submission for MEDIQA-Chat 2023 Task A: Short Di-alogue2Note Summarization.Manual creation of these clinical notes requires extensive human efforts, thus making it a time-consuming and expensive process.To address this, we propose an ensemble-based method over GPT-3, BART, BERT variants, and Rule-based systems to automatically generate clinical notes from these conversations.The proposed system achieves a score of 0.730 and 0.544 for both the sub-tasks on the test set (ranking 8th on the leaderboard for both tasks) and shows better performance compared to a baseline system using BART variants.
