Bernardo Magnini, Senior Researcher at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK) in Trento, will present a series of results from the eCREAM (enabling Clinical Research in Emergency and Acute care Medicine) Horizon project.
Abstract
This seminar provides an overview of the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) within the eCREAM (enabling Clinical Research in Emergency and Acute care Medicine) Horizon project. I will first introduce a unique corpus of clinical notes collected from the emergency departments of several Italian hospitals and show how these data have been used to train small LLMs for a range of clinical tasks. I will then focus on Case Report Form (CRF) filling, a key task addressed in eCREAM, where manually annotated clinical notes are leveraged to extract clinically relevant information. I will present results showing that substantial performance improvements can be achieved by fine-tuning models with additional training data automatically extracted from unannotated clinical notes. Finally, I will discuss ongoing work on the automatic interpretation of patient–doctor interactions in emergency departments, highlighting current challenges and outlining future research directions.
