A vast amount of medical knowledge is available for public use through online health forums, and question-answering platforms on social media. The majority of the population in the United States doesn't have the right amount of health…

This report is the system description of the MaLei team (Manchester and Leiden) for the shared task Plain Language Adaptation of Biomedical Abstracts (PLABA) 2024 (we had an earlier name BeeManc following last year), affiliated with…

Biomedical literature often uses complex language and inaccessible professional terminologies. That is why simplification plays an important role in improving public health literacy. Applying Natural Language Processing (NLP) models to…

In this system report, we describe the models and methods we used for our participation in the PLABA2023 task on biomedical abstract simplification, part of the TAC 2023 tracks. The system outputs we submitted come from the following three…

Automatic simplification can help laypeople to comprehend complex scientific text. Language models are frequently applied to this task by translating from complex to simple language. In this paper, we describe our system based on Llama 2,…

As Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly integrated into healthcare to address complex inquiries, ensuring their reliability remains a critical challenge. Recent studies have highlighted that generic LLMs often struggle in clinical…

This paper describes our submissions to the TREC 2024 PLABA track with the aim to simplify biomedical abstracts for a K8-level audience (13-14 years old students). We tested three approaches using OpenAI's gpt-4o and gpt-4o-mini models:…

Recent advances in large language models (LLMs) have made significant progress across multiple biomedical tasks, including biomedical question answering, lay-language summarization of the biomedical literature, and clinical note…

Building agents capable of understanding language instructions is critical to effective and robust human-AI collaboration. Recent work focuses on training these agents via reinforcement learning in environments with synthetic language;…

The application of large language models to provide relevance assessments presents exciting opportunities to advance information retrieval, natural language processing, and beyond, but to date many unknowns remain. This paper reports on the…

Reasoning about actions and change (RAC) is essential to understand and interact with the ever-changing environment. Previous AI research has shown the importance of fundamental and indispensable knowledge of actions, i.e., preconditions…

With the advancement of large language models (LLMs), the biomedical domain has seen significant progress and improvement in multiple tasks such as biomedical question answering, lay language summarization of the biomedical literature,…

The goal of text simplification (TS) is to transform difficult text into a version that is easier to understand and more broadly accessible to a wide variety of readers. In some domains, such as healthcare, fully automated approaches cannot…

Analyzing vast textual data and summarizing key information from electronic health records imposes a substantial burden on how clinicians allocate their time. Although large language models (LLMs) have shown promise in natural language…

Cognitive task analysis (CTA) is a type of analysis in applied psychology aimed at eliciting and representing the knowledge and thought processes of domain experts. In CTA, often heavy human labor is involved to parse the interview…

Pathology reports serve as the definitive record for breast cancer staging, yet their unstructured format impedes large-scale data curation. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer semantic reasoning, their deployment is often limited by…

The exponential increase in scientific literature and online information necessitates efficient methods for extracting knowledge from textual data. Natural language processing (NLP) plays a crucial role in addressing this challenge,…

Though exponentially growing health-related literature has been made available to a broad audience online, the language of scientific articles can be difficult for the general public to understand. Therefore, adapting this expert-level…

Large Language Models (LLMs) have improved substantially alignment, yet their behavior remains highly sensitive to prompt phrasing. This brittleness has motivated automated prompt engineering, but most existing methods (i) require a…

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have shown that domain-adapted large language models (LLMs) do not consistently outperform general-purpose counterparts on standard medical benchmarks, raising questions about the need for specialized clinical…
