TALP-UPC at ProbSum 2023: Fine-tuning and Data Augmentation Strategies for NER
Neil Torrero, Gerard Sant, Carlos Escolano · 2023
This paper describes the submission of the TALP-UPC team to the Problem List Summarization task from the BioNLP 2023 workshop.This task consists of automatically extracting a list of health issues from the e-health medical record of a given patient.Our submission combines additional steps of data annotation with finetuning of BERT pre-trained language models.Our experiments focus on the impact of finetuning on different datasets as well as the addition of data augmentation techniques to delay overfitting.
