• Abstract summary: GGPONC is a freely distributable German language corpus based on clinical practice guidelines for oncology. GGPONC is the first corpus for the German language covering diverse conditions in a large medical subfield. By applying and evaluating existing medical information extraction pipelines for German text, we are able to draw comparisons for the use of medical language.

• Abstract: The lack of publicly accessible text corpora is a major obstacle for progress in natural language processing. For medical applications, unfortunately, all language communities other than English are low-resourced. In this work, we present GGPONC (German Guideline Program in Oncology NLP Corpus), a freely distributable German language corpus based on clinical practice guidelines for oncology. This corpus is one of the largest ever built from German medical documents. Unlike clinical documents, clinical guidelines do not contain any patient-related information and can therefore be used without data protection restrictions. Moreover, GGPONC is the first corpus for the German language covering diverse conditions in a large medical subfield and provides a variety of metadata, such as literature references and evidence levels. By applying and evaluating existing medical information extraction pipelines for German text, we are able to draw comparisons for the use of medical language to other corpora, medical and non-medical ones.

  We pre-trained several German medical language models on 2.4B tokens derived from translated public English medical data and 3B tokens of German clinical data. The resulting models were evaluated on various German downstream tasks, including named entity recognition (NER), multi-label classification, and extractive question answering. We conclude that continuous pre-training has demonstrated the ability to match or even exceed the performance of clinical models trained from scratch.
