Can Large Language Models Accurately Generate Answer Keys for Health-related Questions?

ACL 2025short

The evaluation of text generated by LLMs remains a challenge for question answering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), summarization, and many other natural language processing tasks. Evaluating the factuality of LLM generated responses is particularly important in medical question answering, wh…

JEBS: A Fine-grained Biomedical Lexical Simplification Task

ACL 2025finding

Though online medical literature has made health information more available than ever, the barrier of complex medical jargon prevents the general public from understanding it. Though parallel and comparable corpora for Biomedical Text Simplification have been introduced, these conflate the many synt…

Pedagogically Aligned Objectives Create Reliable Automatic Cloze Tests

NAACL 2024long

The cloze training objective of Masked Language Models makes them a natural choice for generating plausible distractors for human cloze questions. However, distractors must also be both distinct and incorrect, neither of which is directly addressed by existing neural methods. Evaluation of recent mo…

Towards Answering Health-related Questions from Medical Videos: Datasets and Approaches

COLING 2024main

The increase in the availability of online videos has transformed the way we access information and knowledge. A growing number of individuals now prefer instructional videos as they offer a series of step-by-step procedures to accomplish particular tasks. Instructional videos from the medical domai…

Evidence-based Fact-Checking of Health-related Claims

EMNLP 2021finding

The task of verifying the truthfulness of claims in textual documents, or fact-checking, has received significant attention in recent years. Many existing evidence-based factchecking datasets contain synthetic claims and the models trained on these data might not be able to verify real-world claims.…

Reinforcement Learning for Abstractive Question Summarization with Question-aware Semantic Rewards

ACL 2021short

The growth of online consumer health questions has led to the necessity for reliable and accurate question answering systems. A recent study showed that manual summarization of consumer health questions brings significant improvement in retrieving relevant answers. However, the automatic summarizati…

Flight of the PEGASUS? Comparing Transformers on Few-shot and Zero-shot Multi-document Abstractive Summarization

COLING 2020main

Recent work has shown that pre-trained Transformers obtain remarkable performance on many natural language processing tasks including automatic summarization. However, most work has focused on (relatively) data-rich single-document summarization settings. In this paper, we explore highly-abstractive…

Learning to Read Chest X-Rays: Recurrent Neural Cascade Model for Automated Image Annotation

CVPR 2016poster

Despite the recent advances in automatically describing image contents, their applications have been mostly limited to image caption datasets containing natural images (e.g., Flickr 30k, MSCOCO). In this paper, we present a deep learning model to efficiently detect a disease from an image and annota…
