Automating Performance Status Annotation in Oncology Using Llama-3

This work explores the automated extraction of medical information from Dutch clinical notes using Llama-3 and a limited amount of annotations. We compared zero-, one- and few-shot learning for the extraction of performance status of patients with palliative esophagogastric cancer few-shot learning and one-shot with ACSESS-selected examples, showed the best performance. Future work shall focus on improving the model's precision.

Abstract

This work explores the automated extraction of medical information from Dutch clinical notes using Llama-3 and a limited amount of annotations. We compared zero-, one- and few-shot learning for the extraction of performance status of patients with palliative esophagogastric cancer few-shot learning and one-shot with ACSESS-selected examples, showed the best performance. Future work shall focus on improving the model's precision.
